hellmuth chokes

Phil Hellmuth had 50 % of the chips in play at the final table of the 50k poker players championship game with 4 players left..Phil made a bad call on the last hand before the break that gave Brain Rast about 4 million chips after being down to just over 2 million.The final standings was 1st Brian Rast for just over 1.7 million,Hellmuth 2nd for just over 1 million.which is his 1st cash of over a million.Phil has finished 2nd in 3 events this yr.and finished 26 and 38th in 2 other events.So unless he can take down the main event that starts today at noon he will have to wait for a chance to get his 12th bracelet.

hes funny he gets pissy too like the rest of us i like watching him play

i love watching hellmuth play, think hes great... also love to see him blow up after big hand too

good thing he's married to a therapist,,,lol

True he hasn't won a bracelet this year (and probably will not win the ME). All the good finishes put him at the top of the 2011 WSOP - POY race. If that's a "choke" ...

He is a great tournament player, but wow he is not too good at high stakes cash games. All the good ones look forward to him sitting down at their table.

Yep, it's funny when he starts to complain about something and the others pros start to make fun of that.

Lol, I did not know that!

Yeah, he didn't really choke, he just lost some races. Rast played really well though, it gets tiring to hear whiners complain about how lucky he was. He WAS ahead in all 3 all in hands he won.

It seems that Hellmuth is a great player until the end of tournaments. Maybe he doesnt play well shorthanded. Everyone has leaks in their game.

phil is not my type of player, i prefer johnny chan, durr , ivey and few others..but you have to respect phil's game in a tourney, once he is rattle for real, his play goes down with his emotions, too emotional for me..

cant handle the pressure.. everyones gunning for him.. its like hes the most watched poker player on tv and internet.. hes so easy to read by now.. its quite a feat to make it as far has he has done on a consistent basis. you would try donk him yourself if u had him on ur table

whats he chokin on a waaaad of money cuz this guy is a proven winner obv with the most braclets atm and dont take credit from peeps that deserve it cuz hellmuth has worked for where he is at today...so quick to judge..but yet we dont want to be judged...forum junkies vs hellmuth...lol yeah hellmuth..

3 times this year he finished in 2nd.....having a good year just cant get a bracelet. Id be shocked if he isnt named player of the year

Phil Hellmuth just had a bad beat and got beat

Well he made it to day 3 of the ME after sleeping through the beginning of day two and almost blinding out.

goes to show sitting out does have its perks.. ha!

maybe just me, but i believe sitting out is part of the game, i have won some big tourneys on ps by sitting out and coming back with still over 80% of my stack and lost 100 players while sitting out..

you guys are silly....this human is sick....look at what he has done.........none of us will ever be able to accomplish what he has done in the poker world.......let us just pay respect.........and the reason he sometimes donks out like this because he outhinks himself......... honestly though, it should be rule to never disrespect his play.............we all play different, results are only thing that matter and he has them.......RESPECT

I love Phil <3

Sure he is a great player but wish he could behave better when he losing haha

Phil really is one of poker's greats. It's a pity he doesn't act a little more composed, but then I guess he wouldn't be Phil, would he?
