Mueller a Limit-Hold'em Beast
Greg "FBT" Mueller is no stranger to limit hold'em. Back in 2009, Mueller captured two World Series of Poker gold bracelets in limit-hold'em events. The first came when he won defeated 185 players to win the $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship for $460,841. Just a couple weeks later, Mueller took down the $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout for another $194,909.
Today, Mueller is in contention for his third limit hold'em bracelet with a top-ten chip count. In a recent hand, Mueller raised from the cutoff only to face a three-bet from Ervin Tormos in the small blind. Mueller refused to back down and put in a four-bet, which Tormos called. The latter then check-called a bet on the flop, leading to the on the turn.
Tormos checked, Mueller bet, and his opponent check-raised. Mueller put in the three-bet, a called ensued, and the hit the river. Once again Tormos check-called a bet only to see Mueller reveal for the ace-high flush.
