"Look at That Vicious Pot!"
Greg Mueller was one of the players who entered the tournament today but he was immediately involved in a large pot. Unfortunately for him, he ended up on the wrong side of a cooler.
Mueller had ace-five suited out on fourth street, betting in a spot versus Ben Yu. Yu called and Mueller kept barrelling all the way. Both players paired their boards on sixth street with Yu catching eights while Mueller hit sixes.
Mueller fired one more time on the river but Yu check-raised and Mueller knew it was a bad sign. However, he'd made an ace-high flush and couldn't escape so he threw in calling chips.
Ben Yu:

Greg Mueller:

"Wow," Mueller said when Yu showed him sevens full.
He flashed his cards and then continued in amazement.
"Look at that vicious pot! 150,000 pot!" he said.
Yu soared over 300,000 in chips while Muller was downed to only 28,000 and he would lose them in the following minutes.
