Greg Mueller moved all-in from the small blind for 12,600 and, despite tanking for 45 second, the big blind folded.
Former ice hockey ace Mueller is in push-or-fold mode with his stack size and will almost certainly be choosing the former whenever the chance shows itself.
Jason Somerville moved his sub 40k stack over the line from early position. Tamara Tibbles gave it some thought and made the call. Everyone else folded and the cards were on their backs.
Somerville was in bad shape against the of Tibbles.
The flop came and Somerville hit his set but needed to fade a club. “All I wanted was a sweat. “ Somerville said and that’s certainly what he got.
The turn and rover finished him off and Tibbles collected his stack.

O'Brien is yet to win a World Series of Poker bracelet, but has half of a dozen WSOP final table appearances. Could this be the tournament that O'Brien takes down?
Joe Kuether raised to 4,200 from the button, Dario Sammartino called from small blind and the big blind folded. Both players then checked the board and split the pot because both were playing the board.
