Mueller Busts in Big Pot Against Julia

Level 12
Greg Mueller
Greg Mueller

No-Limit Hold'em

In a preflop three-bet hand, a massive pot emerged to the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{a-Spades}{3-Clubs} river on which table chip leader Nicholas Julia moved forward a wall of chips for more than 160,000. Greg Mueller had around 130,000 behind and was in the tank. He eventually called it off as Julia announced the nuts and tabled {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Mueller exposed {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a flush with the ten and was eliminated. He wished everyone good luck, bumped fists and headed out of the tournament area. Julia appears to be the current chip leader by a wide margin towards the end of the second level on Day 2.

Pan Takes From Abrams

Level 13

Seven Card Stud

Qinghai Pan: {x-}{x-} / {5-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} / {x-}
Scott Abrams: {x-}{x-} / {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} / {x-}

Qinghai Pan bet on all streets and Scott Abrams was eventually in the tank on seventh. "Sorry guys, I have no idea what I am doing," he joked, more talking to himself than anyone at the table. Abrams eventually called and Pan rolled over the {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} for fives full of aces.
