Table Chatter

Between hands, Phil Hellmuth looks around for his agent, Brian Balsbaugh, and says, "Brian, I need some drink, man."

Luke Vrable, sitting on Hellmuth's left, adds, "I'll take a green tea, if you're taking orders."

Hand #2

Hand #2 - Beth Shak has the button in seat 10, Fineman raises under the gun to 45,000, Pillai reraises from late position to 145,000, and Fineman folds. Pillai takes the pot.

Phil Hellmuth & Phil Ivey

Phil Hellmuth was out of his chair on the sidelines for most of Hand #1, talking to Phil Ivey. As he heads back to the final table, he finishes his conversation with Ivey this way:

"I'm already your #1 donator, aren't I?"

Hand #1

Hand #1 - Perry Friedman has the button in seat 9, Richey raises from middle position to 50,000, and Shak calls from the small blind. The flop comes {8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Shak bets 100,000, and Richey folds. Shak takes the first pot of the night.

Player Introductions

If you weren't yet aware, Phil Hellmuth is hoping to tie T.J. Cloutier's record for most WSOP Final Tables at 39. But he needs to reach the final nine to make it official.

This is the actual reason why play is starting with ten players today, rather than the usual nine. This event is being taped for ESPN broadcast, and they'd like to get Phil's historic moment (or whiny bustout) on camera.

Play will be starting in moments.
