Phil Hellmuth once again attempted to capture some of the spotlight at the 2022 WSOP Main Event, making his now-annual infamous grand entrance.
After Day 2abc was underway, Phil Hellmuth entered the WSOP Main Event floor dressed in a Darth Vader costume that some are calling the worst Darth Vader costume of all time.
Here is a clip of Hellmuth making his grand entrance:
Hellmuth purchased the costume the previous day from Star Costumes in Las Vegas. Warren Lush posted a behind the scenes video during of Hellmuth trying on the costume, which is complete with Hellmuth doing with light saber noises.
Unfortunately for Hellmuth, it was a quick run with a bad run of cards at the WSOP Main Event where he quickly was busted from the event without winning a hand. Hellmuth’s quest for the 17th bracelet will have to come from one of the remaining dozen or so events on the schedule.
