With a little over an hour left on the clock for the final level of the day, Jason Young announced to the table that everyone needs to decide towards the end of the level what shots they want to take. He requested that everyone on the table take a shot.
"We all have to take shots. I don't care what it is, but we all have to take them. It's unlucky not to take them," he said. The table agreed and laughed. "Seriously, we all need to take shots. We take shots, the rail takes shots, and even the reporter can take a shot."

Mueller, who started the day with about 36,000 chips, hasn't faced much serious pressure from anyone at his table all day.

A player opened the pot for a 3,500 raise from early position and Dragan Galic reraised to 12,500. Fred Barat in the small blind then moved all in for 93,700. After a small amount of hesitation, the original raiser kicked it in.
Galic then proceeded to go into the tank for what seemed to be over five minutes. A player at the table called for a clock and when the floorman got to the scene he informed Galic he would have a minute to act on his hand.
With only five seconds left to go, Galic mucked his cards. Claiming to have pocket queens, the original raiser chimed in.
"I had pocket queens too. Which ones did you have?"
Galic refused to answer the question, and drops to 50,000.
