We all know Phil Hellmuth likes to talk. Wel, he just got into a little banter with Jason Mercier, Al Bari and Dan O'Brien who are all on the rail supporting their friend Ben Lamb. Hellmuth was ranting about how much Lamb has been running him over and also about how he hasn't had aces all day. O'Brien chimed in and Hellmuth yelled out, "Who are you?" Hellmuth must not realize that O'Brien final tabled the WPT's Bay 101 Shooting Stars Main Event with him back in March. O'Brien took third there and Hellmuth exited in sixth.
"I guess making a TV final table with him doesn't mean anything, you should just leave," said Bari to O'Brien.
We're now on a 60-minute dinner break.
