The H.O.R.S.E event is now taking place in the designated section adjacent to our event. The clocks facing the H.O.R.S.E event have all been turned over to that event's info and players in the $1,500 NL Hold'em event have been complaining to the floorstaff that they have no clock or other information.

They've begun busting the tables here in the Orange section, but for some reason they've started in the back of the section rather than up front next to H.O.R.S.E, where the televisions have all been changed.

They've already cleared nine tables, though, so it shouldn't be much longer for players without clocks to get moved to a section in which they can see again.

Level: 4

Blinds: 100/200

Ante: 25

Hellmuthian Arrival

[user65508]

Phil Hellmuth has joined our tournament, arriving just in time for the H.O.R.S.E. tournament to begin. Oddly enough, he also happens to be seated directly in front of the restart area for the H.O.R.S.E. event, which gives him perfect opportunities to rail, and harass, any of the remaining pros.

Dodging Bullets, Again

[user65508]

Preflop, Phil Hellmuth had limped in with pocket kings when an opponent raised to 550. Hellmuth called and saw a flop of J-9-2. Hellmuth's opponent fired out and Hellmuth called to see an 8 on the turn. Hellmuth's opponent moved all in and Hellmuth folded. After his fold, his opponent showed pocket rockets.
