After reading this text I got the impression that Phil Helmut is a very humble person, like if he didn’t had the notion of what he represents in the poker world. Was he surprised for having someone telling him he would help him support the costs (and, obviously, the profits, if there are some)? Ok, supporting someone with $100 is not the same of doing it with $250k, but Phil is used to look at values like this.
