Let Him Deal

As we've entered into the final level for the evening, the vibe among the field seems to be very mellow. Most players may be enjoying themselves, while others are tightening up and trying not to be eliminated before the money.

And then there's Phil. Phil Hellmuth has been running his table for the last couple of levels, and by running it we mean literally. Last overheard at the table was Phil giving the dealer instructions on how he should be dealing.

"It should be shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, cut. Not what you're doing." Few players at the table chuckled, while some seem annoyed that Phil was wasting time with directions. John Juanda, who just recently moved to Phil's table and certainly hasn't held back from taking pot shots at Phil, replied, "just let him deal!".

A brief discussion was held about whether or not to call the floor over, but eventually Phil dropped it and play continued.
