The
notorious poker brat, loud mouth...self
proclaimed 'poker genious', has plenty to
say at the poker table. Check out some of
his wit below...
2005
World Series Of Poker - Main Event
On the walk from the limo to the casino
Phil is late, as usual. "I have
an opportunity to step up to the plate....and
hit a long, long ball...so we'll see. My
hopes are high fellas."
Hellmuth vs. Jim Pittman
Pittman raises to $1200 with K
J.
Phil, seeing he has A
K ,
raises to $3200. Pittman re-raises all-in
for over $16,000. Phil calls immediately.
Flop: 4
4
2
- Phil is still ahead.
Turn: 9
- Pittman now needs one of three J's (7%)
on the river or his day is over.
River: J
- and the fun begins...
"This frickin' donkey stuck $15,000
with King Jack...I mean...the guy can't
even spell poker. I re-raise to let him
know what I had. (points to the board)
He peeled (a King off), a Jack off for the
sucker. Learn how to fold a hand. Some of
the worst players in the world. I can't
believe this is the World Series of Poker."
Pittman sarcastically: "Yeah,
go figure, huh?".
"I threw away all those hands just
to make it look like they could move in
on me. What a terrible play. If I ever stick
all my money in with King Jack. Shh...but
of course that will never happen in a million
years."
Pittman interrupts: "Yeah,
I've seen worse"
"Not from me buddy. That's why I'm
the 9 time world champion of Hold 'Em, cause
I always have the best hand. You found a
Jack for the live one, huh?"
Phil voices his displeasure to his wife
in the crowd...
''Cuuuuh' mon, you know hun? C'mon.
The guys trying to catch a flight."
Pittman shakes his head..."What
a cry-baby!"
Phil then wanders around the Casino, blowing
off steam to anyone who will listen:
"I got a whole table full of people
who don't know what they're doing. I can't
even tell you what happened to me...it'll
make you sick."
He then makes his way back to the crowd
and asks his wife "Should I go
back and play?". She says nothing,
and Phil returns to the table.

Hellmuth vs. X22 Paul MaGriel
 On
Phil's first hand back (after his bad beat
against Pittman), he looks down to see A
Q
and raises to $1600. Paul is next to act,
sees 7
7,
and raises to $6600, which would leave Phil
with $125 if he decides to call...Phil goes
all-in...Paul calls.
"You got AQ beat?"
Paul says happily: "Yes."
then shows his pair and looks at Phil
with a twinkle in his eye - "We're
off to the races."

Chad: "Phil doesn't look like a
happy jockey."

Phil Hellmuth is gone..."Nice hand."
Again looking for some comfort from his
wife - "That maniac put all that
money in with two sevens, honey. Did you
see that? That maniac put all the money
in with two sevens.
"That's about the worst hour of poker
I've ever had in my life. I knew Magriel
was gonna go off like that too...sevens....g*d
damn...f*cking worst players in the world
around here. I mean, do you think I could
catch a f*cking break.
For me to be out...It's just a...I'm still
in shock. I felt like I rose up and played
like I was supposed to play, but what the
hell can I do. If it wasn't for luck, I'd
win a hell of a lot more of these g*d damn
tournaments, I tell you that much."

"Buddy, are you the kind of guy
that just pushes all in with Q7. Just in
a hurry to go, huh? Might be...."
Phil folds.
Phil wins and whines - "He walked
on water that hand...I mean, it's just scary."

Hellmuth's Online Poker Chat Transcript
from ESPN.
Daniel Negreanu talks about Phil Hellmuth
in his blog over at FCP. It looks like Phil
doesn't normally play in the big game.
Daniel spoke like the other players were
licking their chops to get at Phil's money
when he finally sat down, and Phil did dust
off over $100k in no time flat, as well
as several rebuys. Be sure and check our
recap of the little
known facts about the 2005 World Series
of Poker.
We would like to thank Phil for providing
us with some great web content. We apologize
to Phil in advance if he has been misquoted.
If you are 'the' Phil Hellmuth
and you are reading this, I think you're
a great player and would also like to thank
you for helping Spry at the 2006 WSOP, Event
#2. You informed him that he had picked
up a flush draw on the turn. Here's a photo
of Spry and Phil as Spry busts out with
his pocket 2's.
