Hawbaker Bounty?
The feud started when the two were heads-up and she moved her chips all-in, then realized the player only had 4,000 left, so she took back all but 4,000 of her chips. "You're an idiot," the player announced for her action. "Just fold and give me your chips already," she said in response as the player continued to be upset over her action. Eventually he folded, ending the hand, although the argument continued. The table came to her defense, knowing that she was clearly just putting him all-in.
"Why don't you go somewhere and stick your head up your (EXPLETIVE DELETED)?" Brandi suggested after the player continued to call her an idiot even though the hand had already been completed. Brandi then announced the bounty, and the player called the floor over to complain about the action on the previous hand.
The fighting has died down for now, but we will keep you posted on any more feuds between the two.

Phil's Wild Ride
The plan was for Phil to drive up in his race car, emerge fully decked-out in racing gear, and stride through the Rio with 11 lovely ladies escorting him to his seat. A person with less than, ah, complete self-assurance might've squashed those plans after wrecking the car while driving around a parking lot, but this is Phil Hellmuth we're talking about. He showed up in a limo, met up with his phalanx of lovely ladies, and headed off to work.
