"That's just this year," Mueller said.

"Mine shows lifetime. You only have two," Deeb joked.

"I have three bracelets," Mueller replied.

Action then folded to Deeb, who limped in from the small blind. Benny Glaser raised to 11,000 in the big blind, and Deeb called.

Both players drew one, and Glaser bet 40,000. Deeb called, and Glaser could only show a pair of eights, while Deeb turned over 10x9x7x4x2x to win the pot.
