Good job Phil ...

Good for him. But I respect Chan’s and Brunson’s bracelets more. They both have a bit of variety to their poker play and have won events other than No Limit Hold Em. Not to mention Chan’s back-to-back Main Event wins.
Now the race is on for them to tie Hellmuth. There’s lots of poker left.
BTW, this probably is a bit of a spoiler to people who were planning on watching the coverage.
Phil is the biggest crybaby I have ever seen.
Congrats, Phil. You’re not as bad as most people think...but you’re still a whiny brat. It wouldn’t hurt to win one in something besides HE.
Did this already air and I missed it?
No-limit hold'em, best game ever. :)
Good for Phil, his ego just isn’t big enough.
Hellmuth: “I have so much respect for Doyle and Johnny. To now be at the top of the all-time (WSOP wins) list is really about as good a feeling as I have ever had.”
He’s a winner at the game but a loser at the table. Matusow’s cussing, whining, and histrionics are an act, but with Hellmuth it’s all real.
Several semi-credible rumors on the poker boards that other champs don’t enjoy playing with him.

I still enjoy watching the allstar invitational event when Annie Duke got into Phil’s head and he self-destructed.
I loss $50 bucks last night.
