Greg Mueller

Greg Mueller, born 2 June 1971 in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, is a German and Canadian professional poker player and former professional ice hockey defenceman. He began playing professional hockey in 1992 and spent his entire career in Germany, with EC Hedos München in the Eishockey-Bundesliga and with Maddogs München and Ratinger Löwen in the Deutsche Eishockey Liga. Poker drew him in after long road trips during his hockey career, and after retiring from hockey he took the game seriously. He won his first World Series of Poker title in 2009 in the $10,000 limit Texas hold'em championship, a second bracelet 11 days later in a $1,500 Limit Hold'em Shootout, and a third in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. championship at the 2019 WSOP. He finished third in the 2026 WSOP Main Event, winning $3,750,000, and his live tournament winnings exceed $7,275,000 as of 2026.
