Palma and Hellmuth Exchanging Words

Nicholas Palma was coming off winning a flip versus Lewis Spencer and now sits among the chip leaders. However, Palma and Phil Hellmuth started to get into a heated exchange after the hand.

The tournament floor was called over to the table as Hellmuth was accused of calling someone or many players "idiots" while Palma kept enticing Hellmuth with some banter. Both players were asked to not say another word but that didn't stop them from still going off.

"Are you the only one who can talk s*** about people?" Palma asked.

"Can you stop f***ing talking to me?" Hellmuth shouted.

Another tournament director threatened both players with a one round penalty but nothing was handed out as of yet.
