Hellmuth for bracelet 10?

willis

Great to see so many pros making the final table of this 1,the $5k NL event, the biggest event of the WSOP yet. Hellmuth came 13th in the $3000 limit event so he seems to be coming back to some kind of form. Live updates on cardplayer tonight,

Final Table Chip Counts and Seat Numbers

Seat 1 -Quoc Al "Vinnie" Vinh - $784,000

Seat 2- Isabelle Mercier- $301,000

Seat 3-Eugene Todd- $240,000

Seat 4-Marcel Luske- $458,000

Seat 5- Jeff Cabanillas-$275,000

Seat 6-Douglas Carli- $273,000

Seat 7-Dan Smith- $117,000

Seat 8- Thomas Schreiber- $200,000

Seat 9-Phil Hellmuth Jr.- $461,000

This table will make for great tv with Vinny,Phil and Luske.
From Cardplayer: As you know by now, Vinnie Vinh and Phil Hellmuth are sitting next to each other. With this close proximity comes continual verbal abuse. Vinh made his voice heard after a comment Hellmuth made by saying, "Why Phil? Why you think you have the best hand all the time?". As the two players continued to talk, Marcel Luske looked over from the other table and said, "Close the door, please!". He went a little further after that and asked if there could be a curtain put up between the two tables.

Four of a kind

Go on Phil!!! Would love to see him equal Brunson and Chan. He's great for tv poker!

No what you really want is the most inexpierenced player to make a move with 72 into Phils aces down flop to come with not a 7 or 2 in site and 3 to a suit that phil has the ace in turn a 2 and river the last 2 that doesnt give phil the flush
the next 10 mins will be great TV

And leaving Phil with just one SB, so he has to sit there crying for a few minutes....

Phil Hellmuth raises under the gun to $64,000. It is folded to Thomas Schreiber in the big blind who moves all in for an additional $12,000. Hellmuth makes the call and shows A7. Schreiber turns over 85 and will need to improve. He does just that on a board of K85K8 and doubles up to nearly $200,000 chips.

Would love to have seen Phils reaction to this!

Hellmuth Takes a Monster Pot Off of Mercier
After the river cards is dealt, Isabelle Mercier bets $100,000 and Phil Hellmuth makes the call. Mercier immediately mucks her hand and Hellmuth turns over king high to rakes a huge pot. Mercier is down to around $140,000 chips.


The guy is just freaky good. Genius!!
Hope he takes this down. This final table is going to be one of the best ones to watch. Marcel and Phil at the same table should be class.

willis

4 left, hes chip leader, Luske still in, if Phil dosent win it now there will be mayhem!I can see him actually being very nervous at this stage, lot of pressure on him imo, could affect his play.Go on Philly!

On a 643 flop, Jeff Cabanillas bets $60,000 and Phil Hellmuth pushes all in. Cabanillas makes the quick call and flips over the 53. Hellmuth shows the 54 and makes a set of fours after the turn brings the 4. But the J river gives Cabanillas the heart flush. Hellmuth, denied his record tying tenth bracelet, finishes in second place ($423,893).

Cabanillas, the $5,000 no-limit hold'em event champion, wins the bracelet and takes home $818,546

Typical Cardplayer reports, they dont even know the difference between a set and trips. If anyone finds a decent site for updates this year, please post it here. (Although of course we have Antesup for the big one!).

screw him

he reminds me of a fat only child, spoiled to death by timid parents, who has come to realise he can get away with anything.

then on his first day in school, another kid boxes him on the nose and it blows his world wide apart - waaaaahhhhhhhh!

he's never progressed past that first day in school imho, disgusting to watch for a grown man :mad:

Lol...its an act ffs. If Phil is such a bad human being how come Negreanue and the other pros love him so much despite what he does at the table? Hes the most talked about player in poker, thats exactly what he wants...hes raking in a fortune because of his image/personality at the table, nevermind his poker ability.The guy is a genius and has used his image to amass the biggest fotune of all the players out there, he has had the brains to exploit the poker boom more than any other player in the world.

Btw Im looking forward to the tv showing that final hand...wonder how he took it?

willis

Btw he actually took it pretty well, his video interview on cardplayer is a decent watch...he makes it clear that hes playing perfect poker though

Maybe mike sexton who started party poker and the WPT has a little more. and phil is an ass off screen as well as on according to those who saw him at the wsop last year.

my read also ZZ....

he leaves himself so open to a nice bit of schadenfreude that it would be a shame not to enjoy it when it happens

(now is that 1st time that word has ever been used in a poker thread?)

Bandana boy

Schadenfreude

Would that be the feeling of relief as something bad is happening to someone who is not you ?

sort of....

dictionary.com defines it as follows: "A malicious satisfaction obtained from the misfortunes of others"

Allow me to provide some poker-related context.

"El Stuntman watched with no small degree of schadenfreude as Ianmc's trip Kings were cracked by Chief Brody's 37 soooooooted".

how's that?

El Stuntman

oh, and Hellmuth is still a knob jockey!!

<just to get back on topic>

pokertroll

Its only an act!
I was at his table at one of the smaller WSOP events last year and he was a gentleman to me, even after I had taken most of his chips.

I seem to remember that sexton was in for a piece of the wpt.

He gave 1/2 of the million he got from the TOC away to charity.
So he cant be that hard up !!

I think a lot of this is untrue. Sexton is worth a lot of money. he even gave away 1/2M to charity after he won the TOC. He also stakes other players all year round into bigger games. I think he is worth in the region of $100M.

also - where did u find Padraig's blog? Would love to read it! I'd say he is taking the piss when he says other players are staking Mike!

delanec8

Scratch that. Looked back at Parkinson's blog.


Finally, Mike emerged a winner and gave half the million he won to charity before Daniel could suggest doubles or quits on the golf course. It was a good day for poker. The last time I sweated Mike at a final table was when he finished second in the Seniors at the WSOP a few years ago. He needed the money and wanted the bracelet that day, and was absolutely gutted when he lost.



So that was a few years ago. But i remember him saying a couple of months back that Doyle staked him to play with him, against a couple of the other big game pros in a golf match, so while he is probably loaded, i would not imagine, to the extent of the likes of Doyle or Hellmuth.

when he sold his shares in party poker last year he made quite a few million bob. He is worth more than doyle and hellmuth combined quite a few times over.
