Phil Hellmuth made his way to the tournament room after the dinner break but so far things haven't gone his way. We have to note that Hellmuth's seated at an extraordinarily tough table with no less than seven other players we recognized.

The cutoff continuation-bet 1,150 and the Devilfish, who was donned in a suit (reminiscent of the Devilfish of old) and smacking down on some Juciy Fruit gum, flashed the .
