"I Got a Text From Phil Hellmuth!"
"Hold up," remarks Jean-Robert Bellande during a hand of limit hold'em. "I got a text from Phil Hellmuth. I'm going to fold this hand and read it."
Bellande kicks his cards to the muck and reads the text aloud.
"Get 'em," says Bellande. "This would be an amazing win. Thanks Phil! I'm going to reply right now! Thanks Phil!"
Bellande beckons Tournament Director Robbie Thompson to take a photograph with his phone to send as a reply to Hellmuth. Bellande grins near his chip-leading stack of chips as Thompson obliges his request.
