“I’m glad I’m not playing today so I won’t witness Hellmuth make a fool out of himself with his entrance. I can’t help thinking it’s terrible.” That was the Tweet of 10-time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson right before UB.com pro Phil Hellmuth made his UB Referral Code ostentatious entrance to the Main Event on Wednesday. This year, Hellmuth fully clad as an MMA fighter.
Hellmuth’s entrance was scheduled at around 1:15pm PT in front of the doors to the Rio Pavilion, site of the 2010 WSOP. A media representative told the pulled together crowd to “watch for the stage” and, to our amazement, one rolled in being towed by a black pickup truck from the valet area. An assemblage of male and female dancers put on a UB Review rather lengthened show before Hellmuth finally turned out dressed in a black and yellow UB.com hooded robe.
