Hate for Queen Eight

[user38971]

We weren't able to get all the action on the hand, but Phil Hellmuth held Q-J and flopped top pair on a board of Q-8-7. Phil butted heads with Jason Dollinger in the small blind, who held Q-8 for top two.

After losing the hand, Phil blew up in Phil style, pacing back and forth between the final table and media row. Phil threw his hands on his head and demanded to know why someone played so badly this close to the dinner break.

Phil's been pacing for a bit now, exchanging words with his father and mother about how badly Dollinger played that hand.

A Pause

[user38971]
Now that the final eight have been reached, play has been paused so the Rio can have each of the players fill out a bio sheet. Immediately after players finish that, there will be another pause in order to move everyone's chips over to the final table area. Once all that is done, including a redraw, players will then be on an hour-long dinner break.

We'll post again as soon as the dinner break starts.
