WSOP Daily: Many PokerStrategists Successful on Day 2A, Hellmuth Shows up Late
Dozens of world-class players, several TV and sports stars, more than 20 PokerStrategists and two Team PokerStrategy.com players, yet at the beginning of Day 2A all eyes were on one (empty) chair - Phil Hellmuth's seat. Read on to see what happened.

| Phil Hellmuth finally makes it |
With his phone turned off and a 'do not disturb' sign on his door, his buddy Mike 'The Mouth' Matusow could neither call Hellmuth nor tell him anything via Twitter.
Finally, Matusow asked hotel security to enter Hellmuth's room and tell him to rush to the Rio immediately since his stack was blinding away.
He reached the tournament area at the end of the first blind level of the day and his stack had already dwindled from 11,800 to a mere 7,675.
But he didn't let that stop him. He made it to Day 3 with a rather healthy stack of 64,900 and is still in the hunt of the WSOP Player of the Year title.
Unfortunately Day 2A ended all Main Event dreams of 
Nazgul and VojtaR this year.
Nevertheless a total of 15 PokerStrategists made the step into the next day, when the field of players will be combined for the first time.
Hopefully we'll see Team PokerStrategy.com's Thorsten77 then, who will be playing in in Day 2B.
