Sullivan Waves the White Flag

Ollie Garland

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The pot stood at 13,500 with three players looking at a flop of 5♥J♠2♦.

Both the blinds checked the action to Glenn Sullivan, in the hijack, who bet out 7,300. Only Harrison Olverd, in the small blind, made the call.

The Q♦ turn checked through to the A♦ river. Sullivan checked again and Olverd announced "Alright, I'm not gonna bet anymore" as he checked back.

Olverd tabled J♦J♣ for a flopped set of jacks, winning him this pot.

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.
