Enter Hellmuth
He was not in costume, nor was he trailed by a gaggle of models, but Phil Hellmuth has entered the Amazon Room.
Carrying a take-away sandwich like a waiter might hoist a silver platter, Hellmuth entered the Orange section of the Amazon Room trailed instead by ESPN's cameras as he took his seat at Table 329 alongside James Van Alstyne, Erik "erik123" Sagstrom, and last year's champion David Bach. Hellmuth broke with tradition and abandoned his usual Johnny Cash-inspired wardrobe, accessorizing his black hat and jacket with a bright lime green polo shirt. Advice from his new life coach, perhaps?
