Hellmuth Going for #10???
As much as I like ribbing this guy, I have to admit it would be cool for him to get his 10th bracelet.
It would probably be cooler to see him get to heads up and lose it on some sort of sick beat, but either way, it should make for good tv. They are down to 11 players now, and he's currently second in chips: You'll notice that our girl Isabelle Mercier is currently 5th (she just took someone out) - I would LOVE to see her make the tv table. Marcel Luske is still in, and Vinnie Vinh is the chip leader. |

They are down to 10 players now, on the official Final Table bubble.
I'm nervous for Isabelle. She's currently in 8th place with 188k in chips. The short stack has 128. The blinds are 6k/12k + 2k ante. |

No way.... I just read this on the Stars Blog:
If ESPN isn't taping this.... oh man, what idiots. |

The final table is set, and Isabelle is still alive.
Go get 'em, girl! |

Many thanks my friend! Gotta stick with my fellow Canucks.
For the others that have gotten this far in the thread (and not stuck droolling on the shot where you can see her tummy like I was for a minute or two), let it be known that our girl is in 4th place going into the final table. I believe Hellmuth is in 2nd. EDIT (to add): I'm trying to figure out what URL she's pimpin' on her sleeve of the jean jacket. |

Good news! I guess with this lineup, they decided to get off their asses and roll some tape (like they did with Johnny Chan and Phil Laak last year):
Brad is doing a great job with the . |

Ouch. Not a good sign if he's making THIS call - with KING HIGH!
I'd really like to see how that developed. Must have been a busted straight draw or something. To muck without even seeing your opponents cards - not good. ----- Hellmuth Takes a Monster Pot Off of Mercier After the river card is dealt, Isabelle Mercier bets $100,000 and Phil Hellmuth makes the call. Mercier immediately mucks her hand and Hellmuth turns over king high to rake a huge pot. Mercier is down to around $140,000 chips. |

It certainly can be. As not-as-good-as-he-thinks-he-is (the BEST) as Phil is, Phil is one hell of a tourney Hold'Em player.
