Just read this in email i got

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][B]July 9, 2007 (PRWEB) –[/B] The poker world is holding its breath today after  a freak accident on the Las Vegas strip in which poker legend Phil Hellmuth lost  control of his high-speed racecar.

Hellmuth had spent the day testing  the 200 mph racecar in the Nevada desert. Upon approaching his hotel, the  11-time WSOP bracelet winner lost control of the vehicle and crashed head-on  into a pole.

While the racecar was totaled, witnesses report that  Hellmuth was conscious as he left the vehicle unscathed but visibly shaken.  According to one onlooker, Hellmuth quipped, [B]“Well, you can’t win every  race.”[/B]

With the Main Event of the World Series just hours away, it’s  still unknown whether the pro will recover in time to vie for the Main Event title and a 12th WSOP  bracelet.

"I'd be amazed if he was able to play poker today after such a  high-speed collision,” stated eyewitness Brian Balsburgh of Poker Royalty.  [B]“He had severe whiplash.”[/B]

Hellmuth’s Main Event start time was  scheduled for 12pm on Monday, July 9th. While friends are no doubt praying for a  quick recovery, foes are likely relishing in his misfortune. After all,  Hellmuth’s absence from the floor at the Rio Hotel & Casino definitely makes  the playing field a lot less fierce.
