Many people were surprised when Phil Hellmuth sat down at the ESPN Featured Table and played the first hand of the day after receiving a one-round penalty for his behavior during the final hand of play last night.

When asked why Hellmuth was not sitting out, WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack told us, "The penalty has been overturned, and we will be issuing a formal statement shortly."

Stay tuned for more on this development.
