Geez, it's the opposite here at PSU.
As a matter of fact, the guy who won the PCA is a Ph.D student here. Some other dude who played aces really [censored] against Phil Hellmuth's kings got a front page article for finishing in the 200's at the 2006 ME. |

Hey, I also go to Penn State. It was Michael Martin who finished something like 230 in the main event. After that hand when he showed his aces, he was like "just muck your cards Phil." Yeah, Hellmuth wasn't happy.

I think Mike just wanted to show up Phil for the cameras. |
