Greg "FBT" Mueller Interview
Since we have a few minutes to kill, let's talk about Greg Mueller. "FBT" is approaching 30,000 chips here in our event, but he was busy tending to more important business earlier today. PokerNews' own Lynn Gilmartin caught up with Mueller just after his second bracelet ceremony this year:
Wong Stays Till the End, Can't Call
On the second draw, Wong decided to draw a card while Filippi stood pat this time. He got in another bet, and Wong called again.
Filippi would stand pat again and put out one more bet. Wong drew one card, and it wasn't good enough to call with. He ducked out, leaving himself 3,000 chips to use in a better spot.
Filippi - 12,000
Chainsaw!
Allen Kessler was in the small blind, and he drew two cards before making a bet. Yueqi Zhu was the lone opponent, and he opted to raise after drawing the same two. Kessler called the extra bet.
On the second draw, Kessler would take one while Zhu waved the dealer off and bet. Kessler called.
Zhu stood pat on the last draw, but Kessler still wanted one more card. Both men checked, and the Chainsaw turned over 8-7-5-4-2. Zhu couldn't table anything better as he returned his cards to the dealer.
Zhu - 11,800
Kessler - 27,000

Raising Out the Razor
On the second draw, Ramdin drew two once again, and he showed Phan the 2-2 that he was discarding. Phan stood pat and fired out a bet. Ramdin raised though, and Phan elected to lay it down.
Ramdin - 17,700
Phan - 12,200
Le in the Lead
Le was in the cutoff, and he cold-called three bets before the draw. He drew two cards and bet out, getting three callers. On the second draw, he took one card and fired again, this time getting two callers. Le stood pat for the last draw and bet once more. Only one opponent called him this time, and Le showed 9-8-6-5-4 for the winning ninety-eight.
Negreanu Gives Up Drawing
Negreanu and his opponent drew two cards on the first two draws, with the action check-checking. On the last draw, Negreanu stood pat while his opponent still needed two cards. A check from Negreanu after patting drew a long curious look from the other player. He checked behind, and Negreanu tabled a queen-ten low. It was the winner, and Negreanu explained, "I'm not going to draw to a ten." He's up to 31,000 after that small pot.
Eighty-Five Beats Eighty-Six
On the next draw, both men took one card, and the unknown player led out with a bet this time. Mueller called and stood pat. His opponent stood pat as well, and he fired one more bet. Mueller called again, turning over 8-6-5-3-2. His eighty-six wasn't bad, but his opponent had drawn an eighty-five: 8-5-4-3-2. After that little hit, Mueller has slipped back to 15,200.
Monnette Misses
Monette drew two-one-one while Le drew two cards twice before standing pat on the final round. He showed a J-7-5-4-2, and Monnette couldn't beat it, spelling the end of his day.
Le, on the other hand, is plenty healthy. That pot chipped him back up to average finally, sitting with 24,500. That's up from the 500 puny chips that he had a few short hours ago.
