Phil Hellmuth dresses as Gandalf in his latest World Series of Poker Main Event entrance stunt

Another year, another costume.

Phil Hellmuth is a poker legend, and aside from the foul-mouthed rants he’s known for, there’s another signature of his in recent years: An over-the-top costumed entrance into the World Series of Poker Main Event.

He’s been Thor, he’s been a boxer, a general … and this year? He walked into the Main Event dressed as Gandalf the wizard from Lord of the Rings.

You can see the footage below, along with a compilation of so many of these grand entrances. We’ll see if he can back up the spectacle at the table!

Here’s the, er, magical moment from this week:

And the compilation:

Wild.
