[ QUOTE ]
I notice some commotion over at Phil’s table, and the railbirds all gawk and mutter. Phil stands up and walks up to another player at the table,

“I know exactly what you’re doing! You are moving all-in on me because I’m Phil Hellmuth! You are bluffing me! Just because everyone wants to say they bluffed the greatest player in the world! Well guess what! I’m the greatest player in the world!”

All play at my table stops. Even the dealer stops. This is just too good.

Phil paces and mutters for a couple minutes, then sits back down and mucks his hand. The all-in player turns over a complete bluff. The rail goes wild, and Phil jumps up in disbelief. Freaks out for a minute, then calms down. (other reports say he kicked over some chairs, but I didn’t see it).

[/ QUOTE ]

Just to add a little detail here I was at the table with Hellmuth during this hand - The board was Q844 and the bluffer showed A9 - Phil later claimed he had pocket 2's and KNEW that he was going to get sucked out on the river. And he did kick some chairs. It was the only blowup I saw from him in about 6 hours of playing with him but it was classic. Matusow was hilarious too. Great report!

I absolutely can't wait for your Day 2 recap SPECIALLY your comments on Paul (Tashia?)Kobel. the eventual winner.

LOL I played next to him for 4 or 5 hours on Day 1 and was there when he took out Mike the Mouth with A10 vrs AQ.

Man were those two a trip - The mouth was semi vulgar, negative, derogatory, sometimes funny as Hell, and LOUD while never shutting up.

Paul was positive, courteous, sometimes funny, and soft spoken WHILE NEVER SHUTTING UP.

I'm not exactly a church mouse and enjoy a laugh at the table but between the two of them it was hard to concentrate on my game.

That Tashi won the thing however speaks VOLUMES for the power of short term luck in a tourney. LOL the man was all "feeling" and "Karma". Karma was definitely sitting on his shoulder for him to have won.

---"Hey Philly Boy! Hey Greatest player ever! What's the matter? Did you tell everyone how great you are and what ingenious laydowns you make as you muck a pair of queens after a re-raise with threes?"

LOL this is the funniest thing I've ever heard hahahaha ..
