Who is Greg Mueller?
Greg Mueller is a German and Canadian professional poker player and former professional ice hockey defenceman.
Mueller, a former professional hockey player, was drawn to poker after one of many long road trips during his hockey career. After retiring in 1999 from hockey he has cashed in many poker tournaments throughout his poker career.
Mueller won his first World Series of Poker title in 2009 in the $10,000 limit Texas hold'em championship. His previous best finish came in 2007 where he finished runner-up to Steve Billirakis in the $5,000 World Championship Mixed Hold'em earning $328,554. When heads up in the latter tournament, Mueller had made top pair against Billirakis's trips. When Billirakis raised on the river, Mueller made a feint of putting chips into the pot to attempt to get a read on whether Billirakis wanted him to call. While not a formal breach of the rules, ESPN commentator Norman Chad opined that such plays "ain't kosher" according to poker etiquette. Mueller ended up calling and losing the hand to Billirakis. Mueller was then short-stacked and called the big blind with 5♦ 4♦. Billirakis raised Mueller all-in with K♠ 2♦.
