Matusow owned: Game Over

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, 9 bracelets only equals 9 "world championships" in Hellmuth's fevered brain, and while this may be totally results-oriented, I'd say Hellmuth was the one who got owned in this tournament. Matusow's comment about Hellmuth's style being out-dated was pretty spot-on as well. Doyle Brunson has adapted to changing times and styles better then Hellmuth has.

Look at the way Phil was whining after it was over. "They didn't play right!" If you can't adapt to someone else's style to beat them Phil, then you got out-played.

Best televised final table I've seen.
