Mueller Strikes the River Again

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

We missed the hand as it played out, only drawn to Table 303 because of the celebratory noises Greg Mueller was making. When we walked up to the table, we could see that he had doubled through Vanessa Peng on the final hand of the night.

The board was showing {3-}{4-}{2-}{a-}{8-}, and the money had gotten in preflop. Peng's {Q-} {Q-} was the big favorite at that point, but for the second time in the level, Mueller struck the river. His {8-} {8-} made the winning set, doubling him back over 25,000 as Peng is crippled down to just a few chips.
