Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Mateusz Moolhuizen was seen with a lot of chips in front of him and a big smile on his face : "I just won set over set over set, that's crazy".
So crazy that he took a photo of this board, then he explained what happened : "A player in the middle position raised to 500. I was in the big blind and I three-bet to 1,800, called by the player in the big blind, and called by the original raiser. Then, on a 
flop, both players checked, I bet 1,500 and the player in the big blind check-raised to 5,000. The other player made it to 14,000 and I jammed. The first player called and the other one was thinking to fold, but decided to call."
Button player : 
John Rastomyan (mp): 
Mateusz Moolhuizen: 
Everybody had a set but Moolhuizen had a top set. Turn and river were unknown but did not help the two other players. One was eliminated, the other one was left with next to nothing, while at the same time, Moolhuizen took a big pot to finish the second level.

Phil Hellmuth's World Series of Poker Entrance Met with a Chorus of Boos
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
Phil Hellmuth made his initial appearance in the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event much like in year's past — decked out in a costume. But his arrival on Thursday wasn't met with the usual excitement from the crowd, nor was his entrance as extravagant as in previous years.
The "Poker Brat" showed up for the Day 2abc session in a Darth Vader costume and a few cheered while a number of players inside the Bally's ballroom booed. Most seemed disinterested in the spectacle.
