Phil's Wild Ride

[user37786]

You may (or may not) have heard that Phil Hellmuth had a little accident yesterday. Phil was driving an UltimateBet-themed race car around the Rio parking lot when he lost control and smashed into a concrete light fixture. After he reached his seat today and the other players asked what happened it sounded like Phil said the steering locked up on him right before the accident. A cameraman who saw the accident said, "If it wasn't for luck, he probably would have hit them all."

The plan was for Phil to drive up in his race car, emerge fully decked-out in racing gear, and stride through the Rio with 11 lovely ladies escorting him to his seat. A person with less than, ah, complete self-assurance might've squashed those plans after wrecking the car while driving around a parking lot, but this is Phil Hellmuth we're talking about. He showed up in a limo, met up with his phalanx of lovely ladies, and headed off to work.
