Phil Hellmuth Misses 2022 WSOP Opener After Bout of Traveler's Diarrhea

Phil Hellmuth shared some TMI on Twitter, informing his followers that a case of "traveler's diarrhea" has sidelined the 16-time bracelet winner from competing in 2022 WSOP Event #2: $100,000 High Roller Bounty.

The 53rd annual World Series of Poker (WSOP) kicked off Tuesday morning with the Casino Employees event followed by the start of the high roller. Many of the game's biggest stars have already taken a seat in hopes of winning the first bracelets of the year. Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, and Erik Seidel were among the poker legends we've already seen at Paris Las Vegas.
