Level 42 : Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante

The action at the WSOP Main Event final table picked up quickly on Tuesday, with one short stack catching a lucky flop and another being sent home by the chip leader.

Greg "FBT" Mueller, who has the loudest rail, came into play on the second day of the final table with the smallest stack. The Canadian former hockey player and three-time WSOP bracelet winner was all in for his nine big blind stack with K♥J♦ and in bad shape against Lauri Saaskilahti's A♠K♠ early in the session. But the J♥ on the flop had the crowd chanting "FBT" in repetition.

Mueller, like most of the table, was stilll stick with under 20 big blinds, but he was back in business. Jamie Shaevel, a Los Angeles cash game specialist, attempted to make a similar play with his short stack.

"I'm definitely very emotional," Shaevel told Jeff Platt shortly after busting. "I'm sad right now, but also it won't take long for me to appreciate everything that's happened. It's been beyond a dream come true."

"The sheer number of people who've flown from all four corners of the country, called, texted DM'd whatever - every possible method of telling me they're watching and rooting for me. I'm touched."

Sporting a #8 Kobe Bryant jersey at the final table, Platt asked how much the 'Mamba Mentality' of the late NBA superstar influenced his play at the final table.

"Growing up and watching Kobe and embracing and appreciating Mamba Mentality shaped who I am. The jersey I wore was given out at the memorial game after Kobe passed. It's very special to me, so I thought if I'm going down, I'd like to go down wearing this."
