Mueller Mangled

Andrew Nguyen limped in from under the gun, as did the player in the hijack. Greg "FBT" Mueller, who's been riding a shortish stack for the last couple levels, moved all in for 8,275, and it got back around to Nguyen. He made the call, and the hijack got out of the way.

Mueller: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Nguyen: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Mueller was in a world of hurt going to the flop, and it only got worse when it came down {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades}. The {10-Hearts} on the turn gave Mueller a glimmer of hope, as a jack would give him a winning straight, but the river came the {3-Hearts}. Mueller stood up, grabbed his things, smiled at the ESPN cameras, and said "Main event frustrations." He wished everyone at the table good luck, and headed to the rail.
