The Phil Hellmuth Update

[user25067]

"Hey press!" said Phil Hellmuth, waving over one of our reporters. Apparently he had a message to deliver.

"When I didn't get any hands for 6 hours, I still survived. I sat like a rock while others stumbled and falled (that's his English usage, not ours BTW). I'll wait for them to make mistakes."

And there you have it.
