Phil Hellmuth To Make Grand Entrance At WSOPE

Published on Wednesday, September 30, 2009 11:17:00 AM

This year’s World Series Of Poker (WSOP) Europe tournament is set to begin with a bang tomorrow after Phil Hellmuth announced that he would be making a grand appearance outside The Casino At The Empire in London.

The over-the-top entrance was in celebration of UltimateBet’s tenth anniversary as the online poker site invited players to join its empire in Las Vegas and compete for a ten million dollar million main event bonus.

However, Hellmuth doesn’t reserve his grand entrances exclusively for Las Vegas and held a look-alike contest last year for the WSOP Europe event. In 2007, he grabbed the media spotlight by touring around London’s most famous sights aboard a Hellmuth-branded double-decker bus accompanied by a dozen models.

Potentially one of the tournament’s highlights, fans in the UK are being invited to join Hellmuth for his grand entrance at half-past noon on Saturday at the Leicester Square casino. Those unable to attend can still discover what the pro got up to by reading a blog about the event at UltimateBet.
