Phil Hellmuth called the floor manager over to inform her that he's going to leave early for break so that he can go take a long nap before returning to finish off the session.

He was concerned that his chips wouldn't be safely moved from the feature table to his new seat following break. Fortunately, for the "Poker Brat," the floor manager said she'd accommodate his needs, and he can soon go enjoy a relaxing and stress-free nap.
