I would have to say if anybody hasn't been watching the 2008 WSOP main event they should, I been watching part 13 & 14 which have been interesting. But I think the fireworks are really yet to come due to towards the end of the show of 14. Reason being is the ' Poker Brat ' is moved to the feature table to the left of ' The Mouth ' so you know them two being at same table something has to give.
But just before the show ended Poker Brat rather lost it towards another player. Yeah Phil had a nice starting hand but the guy( Dragomir ) that set him off was hitting on this one type of cards. After the hand even Mike talked about it saying he has been hitting big on them, but yet Phil was his normal self and Mike tells Phil that he was out of line by his actions afterwords.
The hand that set Phil off was him holding AKos against Dragomir holding T4 suited, yeah T4 suited is bad but this guy has hit some pots with them and bluffed a guy off the same hand before. Dragomir raises PF and Phil re-raises him big and is called. Dragomir hits a ten on the flop Phil checks and Dragomir raises like 300k, Phil starts in a bit then folds his hand showing what he has. Mike speaks up saying to show the 83 or whatever and Dragomir tosses his hand in showing he hit a pair on the flop. The table goes nuts in favor and cheering of Dragomir then it really sets Phil off.
So be ready to see the next session of the WSOP which will be number 15 out of 20 to see how much further Phil and Dragomir battle while at the same time Mike is at the same table.

As good as Hellmuth is he fails miserably as a class act. Every time the cameras roll you know this is going to happen. It is nothing more than Hellmuth's need for constant attention.
It's POKER. To expect someone to play by any kind of rule or pattern is ridiculous. If someone calls you with 10-4 suited, well, you just got called. It's funny to me that the only people who ***** about this stuff are the ones who just got beat.
Hellmuth could be even better if he stopped trying to be a media star and just played poker like we know he can. Grow up, brat.
Mike tells Phil that he was out of line by his actions afterwords. ...lol.... That is just so funny, the Mouth saying someone else is out of line ! ...... He is the champion of out of line ! .....AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! ......What a dill rod, I doubt he even knows where the "line" is !......lol... That is just so funny !
....Tc....
the thing is hellmuth was out of line, but people didn't get to see all of that because ESPN editted a lot of it out (well, at least according to what people have wrote on other forums that were at the table or watching the play).. you see some of what hellmuth sad, but it gets really worse... you can see the editted version, it looks like hellmuth calms down a little, then cut to mikey saying your way out of line, and then chino standing up and that bit at the end.. it seemed like a chopped up version of what happened which is sad, but i think most people who watch will realize just how much of an idiot hellmuth actually is... also he telegraphed AK, i mean come on, it's so obvious... here's a video that shows some parts of the berating that ESPN didn't show even though you can't really hear very well, but you get it www.youtube.com/watch.... btw i aboslutely hate phil and would not let him berate me in this way (don't think i could show as much class as internet pro Adam Levy did in the other couple episodes... hats off to him)
Yeah TC I know what you mean Mike telling Phil that he was out of line, I was like is this the mouth telling another mouth that. lol But when Phil got there he tipped off Phil that the players were playing bad and hitting. Even Mike hit on a bad hand against a nice starting hand just prior to Phil coming there to double up. Mike went AI PF with T5 suited and was called by AKos hitting on the flop to hold out.
Baseball Tim, yeah I have heard the same thing alot is edited out for TV and thank you for the link to a vid clip of it, I didn't think they might have one up of it yet but figured sooner or later they would.
lol
