Mueller Stuffs It in with Bottom Pair, Finds Himself Ahead

Hold'em

Dario Sammartino raised on the button, Greg Mueller called and they saw the land on the flop. Mueller checked, Sammartino bet, and Mueller raised. Sammartino called and the hit the turn.

Mueller checked and Sammartino fired. Mueller leant back in his chair and shook his head. After a little bit of thought, he raised all in for 305,000. Sammartino quickly called the extra 65,000.

Mueller:
Sammartino:

Mueller didn't have much but he found himself ahead as Sammartino had only queen-high. However, Sammartino had a solid chance with a double gutter, and Mueller needed to avoid any king, queen, nine or an eight. He did so on the river and locked the double.
