Hellmuth e a confusão
Com apenas 11,800 fichas pensámos que Phil Hellmuth chegasse bem a horas para este dia 2. Na verdade, durante todo o primeiro nível Hellmuth esteve sitout e Mike Matusow escreveu isto no twitter:
"@phil_hellmuth is such a idiot hes getting blinded off has 5k left has his phoneoff and a do not disturb on his phone at hotel" and "sorry @phil_hellmuth that your wsop comes to a end this way i even got them to ring inside your room with a do not disturb on it"
Hellmuth respondeu pouco depois "Security broke into my room, I'm like, 'What's going on?!?' SGuard says, 'You're playing in the World Series of Poker today.'" seguido de "I jump out of bed, dress, and run down to my car. Didn't know you could drive 75 on side roads!! I Thought I played Day 2 Tuesday..."
Matusow conseguiu de alguma forma miraculosa convencer a segurança a ir ao quarto do Poker Brat e este já está em jogo, com apenas 7,675. Tem muito trabalho pela frente.
