LA Poker Classic
On Day 4 Phil Ivey and Phil Hellmuth (pictured) started off in the top four, they were joined by David Singer and Jennifer Tilly. As the day progressed Tilly was pushed out of the number two spot by Michael Watson whilst online player Blair "blur5f6" Hinkle stepped into fourth displacing Phil Hellmuth to fifth. But the fortunes are ever changing and the two Phils snatched the top two spots moving into the million chip count. But the roller coaster ride that is the WPT LA Poker Classic meant that Hinkle was the meat in the two Phil sarnie.
But the wild cards are always on the look out for action and Nam Le pushed up to number five slot. Day 5 saw Hellmuth and Ivey in two and three after making way to Scott Montgomery in the number one slot. Could have been something to do with Hellmuth's rant at Montgomery during the first break where he spewed about a bad play.
The final ten look like this:
1. Phil Hellmuth - 3,885,000
2. Phil Ivey - 1,995,000
3. Scott Montgomery - 1,330,000
4. Wei Kai Chang - 1,225,000
5. Charles Moore - 1,165,000
6. Nam Le - 1,005,000
7. Jeff Schwimmer - 800,000
8. Mike "SirWatts" Watson - 680,000
9. Quinn Do - 620,000
10. Theo Tran - 590,000
