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.
