Hellmuth Gets the Needle After Chipping Up

Will Shillibier

Niveau 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Phil Hellmuth has had a good start to his flight of THE COLOSSUS, chipping up to 18,000 following the elimination of one player.

"In how many years do you become a senior?" asked tablemate Peter Kamaras. Hellmuth removed his headphones and Kamaras repeated his question.

"Negative three," came the reply from 53-year-old.

We didn't quite catch the comment Kamaras made about his tablemate's youthful demeanour, but Hellmuth shot back "Happens when you act like a child!"
