Christiansen Scores Double Elimination; Mueller Calls It

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action was picked up when three players were all in with close to 300,000 in the middle on a flop showing K53. Dylan Christiansen had both his opponents covered, and before the cards were turned up, Greg Mueller announced what he thought everyone had.

"You have clubs, you have aces and you have a set of threes," said Mueller before the hands were tabled.

Middle Position: QJ
Early Position: AA
Dylan Christiansen: 33

Mueller pointed at each player and perfectly called their hands blind. Christiansen was well out front with his set, but would need to dodge the flush draw and aces for his opponents. The board ran out 107 and the set held up to score the massive pot for Christiansen and send his opponents to the exit.
