Yesterday, Phil Hellmuth won his record-setting 11th WSOP bracelet, and you can be sure that Mike Matusow would like to steal some of that thunder with a strong showing today. Expect some pre-Fourth of July fireworks.
Matusow isn't the only big name on the leaderboard. Day One chipleader Lars Bonding finished second in this event two years ago, and Greg 'FBT' Mueller is playing at the top of his game right now. Devin Porter is a popular online player ('TranquilChaos') who has reached two WPT Final Tables, but is looking for his first at the WSOP. And Justin Scott won a bracelet in $2,000 No-Limit Hold'em last year.
