No Respect for the Champ

Jerry Yang tried to make a move on Greg "FBT" Mueller but it didn't pan out for Yang. Yang called a preflop raise to 1,700 made by Mueller, then raised Mueller on a flop of {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs} from 2,800 to 6,000. Mueller snap-called that raise, then snap-called another 12,000 on the {2-Hearts} turn. The river fell {7-Spades} and again Mueller checked. Yang fired four orange (5,000) chips into the middle. Mueller made a third quick call and was delighted to see Yang turn over a pair of fours, {4-Spades} {4-Clubs}. Mueller showed {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} for two pair, nines and sevens. Either pair would have been enough to win the pot.

Yang has just 25,000 chips after that loss.
