Hachem Survives with a Split
Level 6
Joe Hachem three-bet all in for his last 1,200 in chips, and received one caller. His

Hellmuth AWOL
Level 5
Phil Hellmuth registered late for this event and began play after the dinner break. His initial table was soon broken, and soon afterward the Poker Brat was sighted at his new table with his head in his hands. A few minutes later, he had left the tournament area. His seat has remained empty for 30 minutes now. As his chips are slowly blinded off, the question lingers...when will the 13-time bracelet winner return?
