Galen Hall raised to 350,000 in the cutoff, and Thomas Muehloecker called in the small blind.

Muehloecker checked in flow on the 7AJ flop, and elected to check-raise to 800,000 after Hall continued for 150,000. Hall came along with a call.

Muehloecker barrelled for 1,150,000, and Hall called once again.

The 5 completed the board, and Muehloecker didn't slow down. This time betting 1,850,000, leaving 680,000 behind in his stack. Hall responded by moving all in, asking for the rest of Muehloecker's stack, who obliged by making the call.

Muehloecker tabled 77, good for a full house, but it was a fair way behind Hall's own full house, as he rolled over AA, leaving Muehloecker one shy of the final table.

Didier Guerin: Q4 All in
Galen Hall: J7

Guerin had his chips in ahead, but was drawing to a chop at best once the A10KQ turn hit the board. The 5 river was no help, though, and Guerin departed in 11th place.
