Phil Hellmuth was spotted lurking around the final table. Tournament director Jack Effel mentioned that the 11-time bracelet winner was watching the six remaining players.

"He can't even spell poker," joked Rain Khan. "I can spell poker."

Hellmuth walked up to the table and said, "I just want to see what the 250,000 chips look like."

It's standing room only at the Amazon Ballroom in the Rio's convention center. Spectators are standing three and four deep on the rail of the Milwaukee's Best No Limit Lounge, which overlooks the stadium-style seating that surrounds the final table. There are bleachers set up outside the final table are with big-screen TVs that are displaying all the action.

Hand #33 - Hevad 'Rain' Khan has the button in seat 9, Tuan Lam limps from middle position for 300,000, Jon Kalmar raises from the cutoff to 1 million, Khan moves all in from the button for 7.995 million, Lam folds, and Kalmar folds. Khan wins the pot.

Khan stands up and cheers to the delight of his fans, screaming in a deep voice, "Let's get going!" Then he does what can only be described as his "monkey dance."
