Wrong Seat, Sir


Our attention was just drawn over to a situation unfolding at the corner table, Orange 303. Darrell Roberts had won a pot in the four seat, but he had a bit of a problem on his hands. Peter Hotaling came up to the table and announced to Roberts that he was in his seat -- just as he was pulling in a pot of about 8,000 chips. The pink slips were double-checked, and indeed Roberts was in the wrong. His 308-4 looked an awful lot like 303-4, and neither he nor the dealer caught the mistake until it was too late.

It took a couple members of the floor staff and a long conversation to sort out the situation, and it was eventually big Bill Bruce who handled the matter directly. He put the entire pot into a rack, then he reconstructed Hotaling's starting stack by pulling 4,000 chips from the pot to bring him back to 34,650. The rest of the racked chips were handed over to Roberts, and he was sent on his way to the correct seat with his winnings.

That correct seat, incidentally, happens to be on the Main Featured Table with Daniel Negreanu.

Hellmuth's Confusion Costs Him


Although Phil Hellmuth is known for making late entrances here at the WSOP, we imagined he'd show up right on time to try to grind up his small stack of 11,800. As the first level of play today was ticking down Hellmuth's seat remained surprisingly vacant. We did a little investigating on Twitter and found these posts by Mike Matusow:

"@phil_hellmuth is such a idiot hes getting blinded off has 5k left has his phoneoff and a do not disturb on his phone at hotel" and "sorry @phil_hellmuth that your wsop comes to a end this way i even got them to ring inside your room with a do not disturb on it" (post edited for spelling)

Hellmuth then tweeted not long later, "Security broke into my room, I'm like, 'What's going on?!?' SGuard says, 'You're playing in the World Series of Poker today.'" followed by "I jump out of bed, dress, and run down to my car. Didn't know you could drive 75 on side roads!! I Thought I played Day 2 Tuesday..."

Matusow somehow was able to convince the security guards at Hellmuth's hotel to break into his room to save him from completely blinding out of the tournament. Hellmuth arrived right as the first level of play was ending and his stack, which has been blinding down for the past two hours is already down to 7,675. He'll obviously have a lot of work to do if he wants to make it to Day 3.
