I was up a bit, but after losing with QQ and JJ, I am currently at 25,500 at the end of Level 1. Phil "Emperor Caesar" made his late grand entrance with 100 slave girls. Thanks for the boost.

He comes late since he's scared to play you deep stacked with is shitty postflop skills... go get him!!!!
I left the Rio towards the end of the second level. Buddy was sitting at about starting stack when I left. They're playing 5 levels today (and I will be too tomorrow) so he won't be online for awhile.
Before the flop, Phil Hellmuth raised to 1,200 from the cutoff seat. The small blind made the call, heads up to the flop.
It showed up . The small blind checked and called a bet of 1,350 from Hellmuth, and the turn came the . After another check, Hellmuth fired a second bullet, 2,200 this time, and his opponent called once again.
The river card was the , and this time the small blind led out with a healthy bet of 8,500. Hellmuth snap-mucked and started talking. It was difficult to make out his exact words, but the word "buddy" was in there more than a few times. The jist of the conversation was Phil saying, "I promise I'll have the chance to bust you." A spectator on the rail told Phil that there were only a few minutes left in the day. Phil replied with something to the effect of, "It doesn't matter. He's on a mission to have me bust him."

Just a few hands later, Hellmuth again opened the pot for 1,200, and again his 'buddy' called from the cutoff seat. The flop ran down , and Hellmuth led out with a bet of 1,800. His opponent raised to 5,300, and Hellmuth hemmed and hawed and called. The turn card came the , and Hellmuth passed the bet. His opponent made it 5,600, and Hellmuth put in the call. Both players checked the on the river.
Hellmuth showed down for the flopped straight. But alas, his opponent had run down the four-flush with , sending Hellmuth spinning off into one of his world-famous tirades.
He's back down around 25,000 just as play wraps up.
Man, if that turned out to be our Buddy, he's my new hero..... lol..
Heck even if it's not our Buddy, he's still my hero for doing that to Phil, something we all would love to do....
The only thing missing was the boot-licker behind him to whisper, "sic transit gloria . . .", and no, that is not a reference to the shoddy bus system in Vegas.
Other than that, it is typical Hellmuth douchebaggery, which is why we love him so . . .

don't think that is Buddy or his stack at the end of level 5 would be much larger. Hope this makes it to the ME episodes.
Do we have it confirmed that he made day 2?
Yes, he is listed on Day 1c final chip count.
