Phil Helmuth Shot!
Phil Helmuth has been able to overcome a myriad of distractions at the poker table, thanks in no small part to a crafty ability to read his opponents and adjust accordingly. But it is now Helmuth himself who has provided the latest distraction after accidentally shooting himself in the thigh last night at a Las Vegas nightspot.
Eyewitnesses say that the former WSOP main event champion entered a club with a gun tucked into the waistband of his UltimateBet limited edition sweatpants. Helmuth was then seen fumbling in his pants in the area of his johnson when a muffled shot rang out. Onlookers then said his leg started trembling and a gun slipped out of the leg of the sweatpants and onto the floor. The alledged weapon was reportedly a fully automatic Super Soaker 3000.
“Right now we are just concerned for his well being,” said a WSOP official. “It was really embarrassing for him. The gunshot left a wet spot down the front of his pants, and all the strippers were making fun of him, thinking he peed his pants. So, he's very upset."
