Tony G - The Bodyguard

Yan Chen fired a bet of 8,000 into Phil Hellmuth after the draw. Helluth ripped his earbud headphones from his ears and jumped from his chair. The two have been jawing back and forth all day. Hellmuth came back to his seat and asked, "Did you make anything?"

Chen sat quietly as Hellmuth tanked. Eventually, Hellmuth tossed in the call.

Chen revealed {9-?} {8-?} {4-?} {3-?} {2-?} and Hellmuth slam-mucked his hand in the middle of the table and stormed out of his chair.

After he sat back down, Tony G yelled over from an adjacent table, "Phil, Phil, what's happening, Phil? What are they doing to do over there?"

Hellmuth didn't respond, but Tony G continued. "Phil, are you okay? I want you to know I'm here to protect you Phil, the fans are worried about you."

A few moments went by and then Tony strolled over to Phil's table. He leaned over and asked Chen, "Are you hurting him?" and pointed to Hellmuth. Hellmuth got upset and called the floor and made them escort Tony back over his own table.

"We talked about this in the meeting, he can't be over here," claimed Hellmuth.
