Wow maybe this is repeat and has been posted before but this was the best ever.

Firs Mattusow calls helmuth a nit and has been then Steve dannemen(2nd in wsop to hachem) calls him a punk ad says act like a gentleman. ANd nobody should by his products.

This was tournament of champions i think on espn. It is still currentyly on til on west cost. Last three mattusow, hellmuth, corkins. Oh and they all declared war on each other lol.

Yes, discussed previously.

Welcome to several months ago. I've seen it about 17 times I think thanks to all the ESPN re-runs.

But I agree that it was pretty awesome.

Dannemen was completly in the right. Phil Helmuth is a joke, he's like a professional wrestler and has to work his "gimmick" every chance. He even has his own costume!! Does he ever change I could see him sleeping in his sunglasses.

I find Dannemann's act to be every bit as gimmicky.

It seemed to me like Dannenmann and Matusow went to the table intending to flame Hellmuth at every turn. I thought his outburst was weak.

Well i think dannemen was right to start and we all want to say that top hellmuth. But i think he might have went a little too far over the top and maybe a bit gimmicky himself as others said. I must admit i loved it and was rooting him on but he did go little far maybe. But phil deserves it for his past behavior.

This was televised what, five months ago?

Dannenmen acted like a total douche. It was hilarious seeing him try to punk Hellmuth and end up making himself look like an ass instead.

I think Johnny Chan accusing Fred Deeb of ratholing more fun.

I'd give more Dannenman more slack on his blast on Phil H. However, it seemed that his comments was premeditated before Phil H. got sloppy with stacking his chips. Steve Dannenman has shown wayyyy too much manlove for Mike "the Mouth" Matusow. It's not just at the WSOP TOC but, apparently at the US Poker Championship.

Besides those 2 events, has anyone seen Dannenman go out of his way to complement Mike Matusow? At the US Poker Championship, Dannenman kept calling Matusow the best player at the FT of the WSOP ME.
