Hellmuth Shows Up, and Shows Off

Phil Hellmuth showed up to his table assignment and did his new thing of walking around the table, and shaking everyone at the table's hand to wish them luck. Phil was showing off his 11th bracelet, which he won the other night.

From the next table, Greg Mueller leans over and says "Hey Phil, do you like that one?" Phil quickly replies "I like 'em all!"

Today's Field

We had 1,619 runners in today's $2,000 No-Limit Hold-Em event and that created a prize pool of $2,946,580. The top 153 finishers will cash, with those who just crack the bubble taking home $3,831. And in addition to the priceless bracelet, the winner of today's event will also be $599,467 richer.

Seif Flush with Chips, and Protecting His Prop Bets

In a hand very similar to the one we reported earlier, Mark Seif has busted another player. This time, the victim was JC Tran. On a flop of {4-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} Seif checked, JC Tran bet 1,500, and Seif bet enough to put JC all in. JC called, and showed {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Seif was again on a flush draw, with the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. The turn was the {2-Clubs}, but the river was the {K-Hearts} and JC was gone.

After the hand, Seif noted that "If that guy [Tran] wins a bracelet this year, I lose a lot of money. I gotta do everything I can."
