I was just wondering how he is doing in it if he is still alive.

I was also just wondering what everybody thought of his entrance this year.

He is currently about 15th in chip counts.
Seems to be running good, looks like he may make a deep run.
How sick is that if he actually took this down....so gross

Hellmuth is currently one of the top 5 chip leaders, with about 600K in chips. Right after dinner break, he won a monster pot, when he went all in on the turn on a board of A, K, Q, 9. His opponent called with pocket 9's but Hellmuth showd pocket kings for a higher set. The river was a 8, and his opponent busted.

OMG!!!! YOU DO NOT KNOW WHO PHIL HELLMUTH IS? WTF!? have you been living in a hole? phile hellmuth is the greatest poker player of all time. he has won 11 tournaments. he is also the greatest cash game player ever. he proved this by bluffing out the great mike "the mouth" matusow with 27 when mike had kk.

when i was at wsop this year, every time i walked into the amazon room i walked up to the giant poster of him that is hanging and gave it a salute for respect and good fortune. he is truly less than a god, but more than a man.

how have you not heard of him?

fwiw I hope he ships it because he is such a marketable donk that online player numbers would be bound to increase this year, which is exactly the kind of catalyst we need imo.

I somehow dream about Phil winning the whole thing. It would supersize his already huge ego. That would something beautiful - TV history.
