Ah, but here's an interesting hand.

Daniel Alaei raised in the cutoff and Greg Mueller re-popped from the small blind. Call.

Mueller bet out on the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{4-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

flop and again on the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

turn. Undeterred, Alaei called. Both player checked the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

river, though, and when Mueller flipped {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

Alaei knew he was beat and mucked.

Mueller: no longer the short stack, but up to 1.2 million
Alaei: newly the short stack, on 550,000
