You Said It, Baby

Several of the players sweating today's final table (including Daniel Negreanu and Gavin Smith) are enjoying cans of Milwaukee's Best Light that sport Phil Hellmuth's face (and some of his famous quotations). Negreanu handed Erick Lindgren a can and Erick showed it to Scotty Nguyen. Not one to refuse a refreshing beverage, Scotty closely studied the can, looking at the picture and the phrases written on its side. Then he looked over to Lindgren and said, "Unbelievable" before handing it back.
