I just finished reading the book 'the man with $100,000 breasts' and there was a section of it devoted to Phil and his win at the WSOP main event and his personality. It was very interesting reading, mostly about how Helmuth was pretty much a lost soul until he encountered poker and poker tournaments. Low self esteem, low self confidence, no direction in life. Discovering poker and his extreme skills at the game provided him with an arena where he could shine and be special. I think that describes a lot of us. It's just unfortunate that we find this in a game that can often bring out the worst in people.
