If You're At The Rio and Have Some Free Time...

Go to the Rio's Convention Center entrance (where the players go in) and witness the, um, spectacle of Phil Hellmuth and the UB Army arriving for the Main Event. Last year Phil showed up in a limo--he was supposed to show up in the stock car emblazoned with the UB logo, but there was some unpleasantness with a light stanchion and those plans had to be scrapped. This year Phil is showing up in a tank. Yes, a tank, the kind with the big gun that goes boom. I will try to be in position to take pictures of this insanity when it kicks off.

UPDATE: It's just been announced that Phil will be playing at the ESPN TV table when he arrives. And guess who's playing there right now? Mixed-martial arts superstar Chuck Liddell. Ask yourself, how much would you pay to see Phil berate the "Iceman" for what he perceived as a questionable play. And then, how much would you pay to see Liddell drag Phil into the Octagon and lock the door?
