Another Record...Almost

Phil Hellmuth is among the final ten poker players in the $3,000 No-Limit Hold-Em event, and if Phil can avoid being the next player eliminated he'd tie T.J. Cloutier's record for WSOP final tables with 39. Normally they would play down to nine and make this an OFFICAL final table, but play was suspended in tonight's event with ten players still in the hunt. So when play resumes tomorrow at 5pm EDT, Phil will be at the final table...but really, he won't be. That won't happen until one player busts. You understand, yes?
Phil is one of the shortstacks at the table with 213,000 but he still has some room to maneuver. Could tomorrow be the day he lands bracelet number twelve? Tune in tomorrow (well, this afternoon) to find out.
