I hope this problem is solved and everything ends well because Phil Hellmuth doesn't need that. He is a huge professional player with many bracelets and his talent cannot be questioned due to a misunderstanding of the stack.

Gday mates Well I hope this teaches players to just take their chips with them in the future. The problem could have been completely avoided. Phil Hellmuth has been around to know better. I hope my boy Daniel Negreanu has another great year.

A bit surprising that this happend to an old war horse like Hellmuth. One would asume that he guards his chips better, after his long years of tournament play. Interessting tho, that the futage of the cameras was enough to figure out his exact chip stack before the incident.

I did not follow what happened, but I hope everything was fine and it ended well. I think that this kind of mistake can be avoided because there is something professional, not amateur, and the employees there should be more careful about their responsibility ...

Well at least in the end evrything is good , he took back his chips and was able to keep on playing . The article doesn't say if the action on the other tables was continued during this investigation by WSOP team , i think it would be fair if they had stopped the gamplay on every table , as clearly it was not Hellmuth's fault what happened , it was another man's mistake
Very Interesting story for sure... but did the article say who added phil's chips to his bonyadi chips Or did I just the solution? Did one of the employees do this by accident? The security camera footage must have made the misunderstanding clear...

I read an article about dealers mistakes at WSOP , now this accident , ofcourse sh** happens , but on the other hand these news make you think that you have to be more carefull when you play live at the poker tables , so as not o find yourself in a similar position . If you are carefull with your chips and cards , carefull when its your time tio act and you procede by the rules , then everything will be fine .
