Jeff Cabanillas
Phil Hellmuth

yikes.

good i can only imagine phil said " how did you put all your money in on a draw" blah blah blah, but i feel sorry for the guy cause hes usually right and a good player that tends to get his beats televised

Been reading some of the hands on a few sites and it sounds sick, Phil really took some shitty beats.

A53 flop, Phil has 53 and bets about 300k into it, donk calls with J5 and turn comes a five.

Whats worse is he doesnt even reraise phil when he outdraws him.
Eg 653 turn x river 3, and phil bet the turn and flop and river - donk calls on river and turns over 73o...why the fuck didnt he reraise?

Phil was soooo unlucky.

Sgt. Bilko:" not the way I play it"

Ouch. I felt really bad for him. I watched the interview and the armchair-poker-table-psychologist in me was just seeing every WSOP final table race before his very eyes at the same time. When he wins anything, watching it really gives me that feeling that I'm watching something special- more special than the funny cry-baby antics and bad beats. He truly is one of the best tournament players in history.

Did anyone else hear that it was untelevised and surprise surprise he was a gentleman to the eventual winner.
