justin, this is steve, the long haired hobo-looking guy that had dinner with you the night waco won his 2nd event.


I was helping my friend seth do reporting for his website (texasholdem.com) during the main event, and I saw this go down when you were playing with Phil on day 3.

Blinds were 5k/10k, and you raised to 27k in MP, and Phil called from the BB and checked dark. flop was 665 with two hearts, and you bet 34k. Phil went into his act, eventually folding the Ad face up, saying "this is the last one I let go kid, I KNOW YOUR WEAKNESS NOW!"

I was standing right behind you laughing hysterically.

I also watched Phil in the last level of day 1 for about a half hour, and it was awesome. There was some random middle aged a guy that I didn't recognize two to his right, who had a nice sized stack, probably around 90k. He was opening every pot folded to him, and Phil was berating him non-stop, talking about how he was such a donkey and would blow up by the end of the day. He went on and on about it, then started reciting a story about how "two years ago, Kenna James did the same thing! I kept telling him I'd bust him, and then he went and put all his money in with KT when I had Kings!"

No one was really paying any attention to him, and 10 to 15 seconds later, he says "of course, Kenna hit running hearts to bust me!" and a bunch of people at the table just rolled their eyes. It was funny to watch, because I knew he just wanted to embarrass that guy into slowing down so he could control the action as play slowed at the end of the day, since there's that artificial bubble that's so exploitable. Every time that guy raised, Phil looked to have a wincing pain shoot through his body because he knew there was not a whole lot he could do.

Unrelated anecdote: At day 1 of the 2500 6-max event last year, my first WSOP event, Hellmuth wasn't playing, but showed up during an early level and just strutted around the tournament area, loudly greeting people he knew, posing, and such. It looked like he was reeeeeeeally trying to be noticed.

Similar anecdote:

In Aruba Hellmuth busted, but was wandering around being a douche, and seemed to be really embarrassing his wife (who was at the table next to mine-- sitting next to Mrs Micon). He kept going up to Antonio and telling him how he busted, then he'd wander around for a while and return, and the whole table would poke fun at him and be like "hey phil you still in the tournament?" He pretty much was exactly like i expected him to be.

Edit: FWIW, I was actually impressed by his tournament game. I've played cash games w/ him before (where he's VERY weak). He had a good loose style in the tournament, and I think all his chatter actually successfully discouraged people from playing back at him, and also helped him gain information about how people were playing.

<font color="blue"> </font> The guy is the most insecure human being I have ever come across, total narcissist wanker on the felt. The fact he was verbal with you was because HE COULDNT work you out. <font color="blue"> </font>

Phil seems like a very strange man.. both physically, and personality wise..

i was at the table. he kept talking about how he was trying to get his wife to play good poker and she was trying her best. then antonio kept challenging him to a hu match where the loser would get tasered. hellmuth would completely ignore the hu challenge and he then started talking about some event that he showed up to where he got a private jet and the mc introduced him when he showed up. he reminded me of a salesman with ADD.
