Greg Mueller (born June 2, 1971) is a German and Canadian professional poker player and former professional ice hockeydefenceman.[3][4]

Mueller was born in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. He began playing professional ice hockey in 1992 and played his entire career in Germany, playing the Eishockey-Bundesliga for EC Hedos München and the Deutsche Eishockey Liga for Maddogs München and Ratinger Löwen.

Mueller was drawn to poker after one of many long road trips during his hockey career. After retiring from hockey, he decided to take the game more seriously and began playing in tournaments. Since then, Mueller has cashed in many poker tournaments throughout his poker career.[5]

Mueller won his first World Series of Poker title in 2009 in the $10,000 limit Texas hold'em championship.[6] Mueller won his second World Series of Poker bracelet and $194,909 only 11 days after his first in a $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout event.[5] He won his third in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. championship at the 2019 WSOP.

His best showing in the World Poker Tour was a fourth-place finish in the 2006 World Poker Challenge, where he won $142,285.[2]

As of 2019, his total live tournament winnings exceed $3,350,000.[5] His 43 cashes at the WSOP account for over $2,400,000 of those winnings.[1]

Information accurate as of January 30, 2010.

Thomas Keller (born October 14, 1980 in Ann Arbor, Michigan) is an American professional poker player, residing in Scottsdale, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada. He is the brother of Shawn 'Lightning' Keller.

Keller graduated from Stanford University with a degree in economics in 2002. He began playing poker while at Stanford, having been influenced by the movie Rounders. Like David Williams and Noah Boeken, Keller credits his experience of playing Magic: The Gathering as a helpful factor in his poker career.

In Phoenix, his jump from playing low limits to the biggest high-stakes games happened quickly. One local story is that Keller won so many $100 chips at Casino Arizona that the casino ran out, forcing high limit players to buy chips from him, which he sold from the trunk of his car.[1] Keller has said the story is absurd, but the fact it persists attests to how well Keller did in high limit games during the era.

In December 2003, Keller won the $281,525 first prize in the $2,500 no limithold'em event of the Five Diamond World Poker Classic, defeating Allen Cunningham in the final heads-up confrontation.[2]

He went on to defeat Martin de Knijff to win a World Series of Poker bracelet in 2004 in the $5,000 no limit hold'em event.

Keller also appeared on the World Poker Tour (WPT) Young Guns of Poker invitational, where he finished 4th. He is also a part of Robert Williamson III's Team America in the Poker Nations Cup.[2]

Keller has been a primary columnist for Card Player Magazine since 2004.

He married his wife Andra on April 24, 2004. Andra gave birth to their first child, Kaylee Keller, in September 2006. They had their second child, Alexander, in late February 2009.

Keller lost over 200 pounds after having gastric bypass surgery.

Keller cashed twice at the 2008 World Series of Poker including finishing in 61st place out of 6,844 entries in the $10,000 buy-in Main Event, earning $115,800.

As of 2011, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,200,000.[2] His 5 cashes as the WSOP account for $789,127 of those winnings.[3]
