From the Penthouse to the Outhouse

As players filter down from the broken table, Phil Ivey filters on to Phil Hellmuth's table. Gus Hansen is moved to shout, "HOWARD! Is Phil the seventh best or the eighth best player at the table? Yesterday he was the best player at his table and today - seventh or eighth?"

Howard Lederer declined to comment.

"You've gone from the penthouse to the outhouse all in a day!" continued Hansen, undaunted.

"What?" asked Phil, removing one ipod headphone having realized someone might be talking to him.

"Tough table!" said Hansen, receiving the enigmatic response from Hellmuth: "I've only played five hands." Here it is, in all its toughness:
