Sitting This One Out

Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth
As we reported just prior to the conclusion of last night's play, Phil Hellmuth will be serving a one-orbit penalty and sitting out the first nine hands of play. With the blinds and antes where they are, this time-out will cost Hellmuth a total of 81,000 chips, or roughly 11% of his total stack.

It should come as no suprise that Hellmuth starts Day 6 back at the main ESPN featured table on the Milwaukee's Best Light stage. With just moments until the cards are in the air, the other eight players have arrived, unbagged their chips, and have been mic'd up by the crew, but "The Poker Brat" is nowhere in sight.
