Hahahahaha am I the only one that found it incredibly funny how close he was to crying at the end of that hand?

Good grief. He got his money in with the best hand, got outdrawn in a tourney he desperately wanted to win because of [censored] like you who totally disrespect him (admittedly he's overly concerned about his image).. yeah he's going to feel a bit disheartened, so would you.

I think the fact the guy has $250 million and still cares as much as he does about excelling in another field says a lot about him. I have a lot more respect for Phil then I do for all the other independently wealthy players who are almost indifferent about winning or losing because of what they have away from the felt. I like his passion for the game.

Phil has some growing to do, but as poker players go he's still one of the classier ones I've seen on TV. He's not Patrick Antonious, John Juanda, Barry G or Chris Ferguson .. but he's certainly not Daniel, Gavin, Josh Arieh, Mike M, Phil Laak or Annie Duke either. Generally he conducts himself graciously.

Give the guy a break.
