Hellmuth Arrives

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Phil Hellmuth arrived today, and did his custom of shaking hands with all the players seated at his table. Phil Ivey, who is two to Hellmuth's right, cracked a smile, as did Dewey Tomko, and several other players at the table.

"Hey, I try to shake everyone's hand before I start acting like a jerk" said Hellmuth, as he took a seat.

Mike Sexton in Trouble

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Mike just open-folded a flopped set of jacks after Patrick Bruel bet enough to put him all in on the river. The board showed Q-J-4-5-10 and with all the straights out there Mike released his hand. He now has 6,000 and Patrick moves up to 26,000.
