Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Doyle Brunson's stack is up to 46,000, while Phil Hellmuth is down to 3,000. On top of that, during a pause in the action Phil went over to Brunson's table and threw a wad of bills on the table. "Doyle beat me for $7,500 on the putting green during the break!" Phil said. In case you didn't know there's a short putting green in the VIP lounge and some of the players have engaged in the odd friendly wager.
