Despite a promising start since his late, and somewhat flamboyant arrival, it looks as though "Poker Brat" Phil Hellmuth will be heading into the 90-minute dinner break with a less than satisfactory stack.
I joined the action of the turn of a 
board where Hellmuth had led for 4,500. After a moment or two of deliberation his opponent made the call.
The river was the 
, and deliberately and meticulously, Hellmuth counted out 10,500 and chucked it across the line. A brief pause later and the call was made, his opponent tabling 
to scoop the pot.
Hellmuth, clearly disgruntled, shook his head and waved his hand in the air in frustration before throwing his cards into the muck.
As a result of this last-minute crash, Hellmuth will return with a depleted stack of 20,500. It's a shame the break arrived; the media could have been treated to some fireworks.
