Hellmuth Threatened With Penalty

[user46392]

Continuing the late-night disastrous run, Phil Hellmuth is down to just 25,000 and has made the dealer cry. The TD has come over and attempted to smooth things over, explaining that the dealer has been working for 14 hours and that it isn't her fault, but the dealer is quite upset and Hellmuth is being threatened with a penalty for attacking the dealer if he doesn't cool off soon.

The dealer is now receiving a soothing massage from the TD, and with just three minutes left on the clock, it looks like things are going to be ok.

Hold'em:

Isaac managed a short-lived comeback when he doubled up though Raul Paez in a blind battle, but Phil Ivey soon took care of him in a button versus big blind battle.

We'll see you in the PLO tomorrow Isaac.

Phil Helllmuth Eliminated In 12th Place (£6,188)

Hold'em:

With 30 seconds left on the clock, Sherkhan Farnood raised, and a now thoroughly angry Hellmuth, forgetting that they were playing limit, announced that he was all in and threw all his chips in the middle. Farnood agreed to raise to cover Hellmuth, and it was a coinflip.

Farnood: {3-Hearts}

Hellmuth:

Board:

Thus our day three will most likely be quieter than it might otherwise have been, as a livid Hellmuth leaves the table to complain about Farnood and the dealer to a gentleman holding a video camera.

Play Has Ended

MarcC

Play has come to an end here in Leicester Square just over 14 hours since we started. Two late eliminations means we have to play from 11 down to a winner tomorrow. Play will resume at 2.30pm local time.

This is thirty minutes before the third tournament in this series, the £5,000 PLO, starts. A few of our short stacks might use this time to try and spin up a big stack in an attempt to try and put themselves in a position to win this or try their luck at the PLO instead.

Join us tomorrow to find out how it pans out. Good night or should I say good morning from The Empire.
