Phil Hellmuth is fuming nad the object of his ire is – no surprise – Mike Matusow. Despite the fact the two are good friends and confidants, they LOVE giving each other shit and taking chips from each other. And it’s all going Mike’s way now.

Patrik Antonius had just bought in for another $200,000 when he got a chance to put them into play in a pretty ballsy spot. Unfortunately for him, Tom Dwan didn’t blind.

Both Mike Matusow and Phil Hellmuth are acting like they’re steaming. Of course, they act that way all the time so it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s for play. But they both seem to be struggling in this game.

They served mountains of sushi on the last break and sandwiches, it appears, from the parts of the fish not deemed suitable for sushi. Mike Matusow and Phil Hellmuth were not in evidence, however, as they stayed behind at the table to play Chinese Poker.

The structure of the game is nominally the same as yesterday, but the size of the game is about to sneak up on everyone.

If this doesn’t get broadcast in the U.S., you’ll be missing some good poker but not, as far as I can tell, any good commentary. I don’t know these guys, but THEY don’t know THESE guys. Some guy in the control room is feeding them most of their lines, and they just don’t know the players. I thought Robert Williamson III was part of this broadcast, but I don’t see him here.

Phil Ivey just picked Mike Matusow’s pocket in a $100,000 pot. It had to kill Matusow to lay down his hand, and it will kill him again as he now has to live with the doubt about Ivey’s hand … and it’ll be a third death when he finds out how Ivey played him.

I’ve just been ejected from the commentators’ booth, so My ability to tell you any specifics of the action is limited. But I returned to the studio at 1:05 PM, just in time to hear Phil Ivey say, “Bring me 500 more.”
As I predicted.
