Break Time

We're going to take a 15-minute break after we color up the light-blue 500 chips, so it'll be around 20 minutes before we resume play.

Greg "FBT" Mueller Wins a Huge Pot

After seeing his stack dwindle through much of the day Greg "FBT" Mueller has made a big comeback the last hour or so. He just won a big hand where he raised to 16K under the gun and another player came over the top for 60,000. Mueller called with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}, while the other player held {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Mueller's Kings held up on the {7-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Spades} board and he now sits with 180K.

Mads Wissing Andersen Is Eliminated

Mads Wissing Andersen came into Day Two as the chip leader, but after struggling to get anything going he was eliminated after a three-hand roller coaster.

On the first he lost a race with {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} against {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} that left him with just 7,000. Then he tripled up with {K-Spades}{10-Clubs} against the two blinds. But he was still in push-mode and looked to be in good shape to double up when he held {A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} against another player's {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} But a six hit on the flop and another on the turn, and Andersen's day was done.

Glenn Hughes Eliminated

You may remember Glenn Hughes from the 2004 World Series of Poker asking--no, DEMANDING--in a very loud voice for the dealer to give him a tournament-saving card. It worked at least one time that I recall, and Hughes made the final table that year, finishing 5th.

A big crowd just gathered around Hughes' table as he was all-in against Leandro Pimentel. Hughes had {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} to Pimentel's {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}. "That ain't nothin'!" Hughes said. "Put a Jack up there!" And, lo and behold, the dealer put the {J-Clubs} on the board! Thing is, Hughes didn't tell the dealer not to put the {A-Diamonds} out there on the river. Which is exactly what happened. And that spelled the end of Hughes' day.
