The Box

We wrote earlier about Jason Strasser, Allen Cunningham and Michael Banducci describing their dislike for "The Box," the curtained-off area where the live-streamed final tables are broadcast. Phil Hellmuth is currently playing for his 11th bracelet at that table, and the final table for this $2,500 No-Limit Hold-Em event will be also be held at that sequestered location. Surprisingly, Mike Matusow had an opinion about that, one which he chose to share with the whole room.

"Phil's going for his 11th bracelet and they put him in a box! They're aren't putting me in a box!" Well, with 267 players left in the field "The Mouth" has some work to do before he starts to worry about that.
