Muehloecker Backdoors His Way to a Double Up
Level 19
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Thomas Muehloecker raised to 160,000 in the hijack and Leonard Maue called in the small blind.
The flop came Q?4?8? and Maue check-called a bet of 180,000 from Muehloecker.
The turn landed the A? and Maue check-called again, this time for 360,000.
The river brought the J? and Maue checked for a third time. Muehloecker bet 1,170,000, leaving himself with just 5,000 behind.
After some consideration, Maue made the call and mucked his cards when Muehloecker turned over K?10? for the nut straight.
