Phil Hellmuth was Kung Fu Fighting in WSOP Main Event Grand Entrance
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
As is tradition, Phil Hellmuth showed up for the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event fashionably late on Day 1c, and in full costume.
The "Poker Brat's" grand entrance took place after the second break, just before 5 p.m. PT. He wore a black karate gi and was flocked by a team of karate apprentices that included Scotty Nguyen, Joe Stapleton, Jeff Gross, American Pie star Shannon Elizabeth and upcoming Life Outside Poker guest Dan "Jungleman" Cates, who also made a memorable — and feral — entrance with Hellmuth last year.
