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. [7] [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]
