Default Re: WPT Bellagio Hellmuth Blog

my one and only Hellmuth experience; the 2001 Orleans Open 1kNL Phil runs the table getting walks over and over in the BB talking people out of even completing the SB etc. then Men comes to the table to Hellmuths direct right and played him out of every pot - Phil went on tilt big time - during the break I overheard him telling TJ hes gonna 'get that little son of a bitch' then like 5 minutes into the new level he gets AIPF w AQ vs. Men's Kings and he gets up trademark knocked over chair an all - storms out without saying Anything, after going back and forth with Men for the last like 2 hours

I have to admit his crazy antics are fairly entertaining for me tho. As an aside I think Hellmuths best trait is his live read, when he does commentaries etc. he seems to come of off as intelligent and concise. I agree however, that in this day and age his edge over the fields not what it used to be.
