Guess Who's Arrived
With 11 bracelets and 70 WSOP cashes, Phil Hellmuth will be looking to add both to his record joining the 2,500-plus field battling it out today.
Already mixing it up with his table, Hellmuth has been heard saying "laying down monsters to these young Internet kids!"
We're sure it will continue.
Ferguson Sent Packing
His opponent slid a stack of yellow 1,000-denomination chips into the pot, signifying putting Ferguson to a decision for his tournament life.
Ferguson starred at the board intently before muttering, "I guess I'll go play the heads up" and tossed his remaining 2,300 into the pot.
Ferguson:
Opponent:
No heart would fall on the river when the landed, and Ferguson would hit the rail and now have some extra time to prepare for the Event 29 - $10,000 World Championship Heads Up No Limit Hold'em.
Hellmuth Rivered
Finding a caller in the cutoff, both players check the flop to see Hellmuth lead out for 250 before the lands on the turn. His opponent calls and when the lands on the river Hellmuth makes it 150 to go, only to be raised to 750.
Hellmuth quickly makes the call and tables , however it would be his opponent's to scoop the pot.
"You ran ten-eight into ten's kid! I told you you were in trouble!" sparked Hellmuth as he slips to 3,800 in chips.
A few hands later, Hellmuth's table broke and he was moved right alongside the rail - to the crowd's obvious joy!
