He rushed to his room to wake him.

Hellmuth later Tweeted: Security broke into my room, I’m like, “What’s going on?!?” SGuard says, “You’re playing in the World Series of Poker today.” He continued in another Tweet: I jump out of bed, dress, and run down to my car. Didn’t know you could drive 75 on side roads!! I Thought I played Day 2 Tuesday…

All eyes are on Hellmuth to win the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event after he managed to finish in second at three WSOP events over the past few weeks including the coveted Players Championship, where he walked off with over a million dollars.

Hellmuth was able to grab hold of some chips quickly after taking his seat.
