Digging In

As the day wore on attrition took it’s toll on Phil Hellmuth’s stack. He lost another sizable pot and then the antes began their remorseless nibbling at what was left. Until this was all that was left:
To compare, this is the stack of Cody Slaubaugh, the chip leader at the time who was sitting at Phil’s table:
Phil was eventually anted down to the felt, where he was all-in on his big blind. He lost, and was out. He won $3,231 for his 113th-place finish, but he had a last-longer bet with Roland de Wolfe (at 20-1 odds) and lost $2,000 when he was eliminated. Phil just tweeted that he played Chinese poker afterwards at $500 a point…and lost 101 points. I’ll leave you to do the math. Suffice to say, today did not provide quite the results Phil Hellmuth was looking for.
