There might be some truth to that.
Quote: No way did Hellmuth just grow those pair of balls.
Hellmuth seems to be underestimated by everyone on this board - can you really fluke 11wsop braclets - the recent ones earned by beating a lot of these 'great' internet players. And yeah - a lot of players buy in to most of the holdem events in WSOP - they just dont win.
