Some of you may remember Crispin Leyser from the 2006 World Series of Poker. Leyser didn't actually play in the event, but instead is known for his dispute with Jamie Gold over the division of the prize money Gold received for coming in first. Leyser is actually playing today and is doing pretty well, sitting at 39,500 in chips.

Greg 'FBT' Mueller Eliminated

Greg 'FBT' Mueller has just been eliminated, and ESPN's cameras were there to get him as he left the table. Luckily for them, he wasn't on Full-Blown Tilt, or they might have lost a camera. (Or worse, a cameraman.)

With five cashes, two final tables, and over $417,000 in earnings, Mueller has had a strong showing, finishing 18th in the WSOP Player of the Year standings.
