A Hellmuthian Arrival

Yes, it's true. Phil Hellmuth's Lear Jet arrived safely at McCarran airport and he was whisked away to the Rio to take a seat behind his chip stack, which has been blinded down to about 22,000 over the last four hours.

Hellmuth and Matusow appeared out of what appeared to be the door to the "Secret Chinese Poker Room" where these two spend most of their breaks engaged in said game. The two chatted and power-walked into the Brasilia Room, where Hellmuth looked up at the clock and noticed there were still ten minutes remaining on the dinner break.

"I ran here and we're ten minutes early?" gasped Hellmuth as a fan on the rail pleaded for a photo.
