One of Mueller's rail got a little carried away following that double. Or maybe he's just taking inspiration from Han Feng's Day 1 look.
Greg Mueller doubles through Lauri Saaskilahti. And Mueller had to get lucky with his KJo hitting a jack on the flop and moving ahead of the Finn's AKs. His rail erupts and he goes to celebrate with them.
- Greg Mueller: 59.5M
- Lauri Saaskilahti: 53M
Phil Hellmuth reveals the four players he voted to be inducted in this year's Poker Hall of Fame. One of them has been "mean" to him for 24 years.

It's time! And Draymond Green is on shuffle up and deal duty today. The atmosphere is electric in Horseshoe as the four-time NBA champ gets the action underway. We're expecting a faster start today.

There's more than one interesting thread carrying over from yesterday's play:
- Will Greg 'FBT' Mueller be the next player to hit the rail? He's got the shortest stack of the bunch headed into today's play, but anything can happen.
- Will Han Feng continue his ascendency up the chip counts? The Chinese-born American started the final table 8/9 before a late surge saw him bag up the second-biggest stack in play. And, how will he top yesterday's anime-inspired outfit?
- Lucas Jumalon navigated his way through highs and lows yesterday to retain his hard-earned chip lead. Will he stay in the zone? Or, will the pressure get to him?
- It was a cagey affair yesterday – will we see anyone take advantage of their opponents' unwillingness to play big pots?
Tune in later tonight to get the answers to those questions – and more.
