Hellmuth/Thunderkeller A Gajillion Dollar Freezout

[Number27]

Wow, Hellmuth's been getting rocked at 300/600 bet limit. (What else is new?) Anyway, he and thunderkeller got into it a little and the following was said:


PH: We can [play] HE any time in the real world.
TK: Don't make me bust you sir.
TK: u know I could get 100mil in a week for a freezout
TK: u vs. me limit head up
PH: I play u anytime limit or NL
TK: okay agreed, when u in vegas next?
PH: 11th
PH: Let's see how good you are raising every pot when I can see your face.
TK: so what do u want to do phil? 500k freezeout 2k-4k blinds?
TK: or were you thinking bigger?
PH: First we agree to play 100% on our own money.
PH: Two million is enough.
TK: Well I mean some of the money I play with I've won off of you.
TK: So play for 2mil then? 1million buy-in 2k-4k blinds?

[Phil ignores TK for awhile]

Who knows, I doubt Hellmuth puts up this kind of money; but stranger things have happened.

[Number27]

Hellmuth's about busted for the game; but eventually backed out it would seem. A shame.

And people said settling poker disputes by a heads up freezeout was dead!

clearly phil is trying to save face trying to get keller to back down after making him agree to play with his own money. what kind of sense does that make? i also really doubt TK would play phil HU for 1-2mill with his own roll. i have no idea what his roll looks like but i sincerely doubt its that high. if this freezeout happens though it would be so awesome.

TK just rose about 100 levels in my mind. NFH.

i assume he's fairly loaded.

if he's backing people for $400k he could probably scrape a couple mil.

Aces,

I don't know how good TK thinks he is, but he's one of the best overall players I know of.

[Jourdain]

Oh please, TK is an OK player. Nowhere near the best overall..
