Phil Hellmuth hasn't been doing all that well at the poker tables in the past few years, and he has been criticized by some of the best poker players in the world because he refuses to understand that poker has changed and that he can't play the same style as he used to "back in the days" when he was successful. It's clear that Phil Hellmuth doesn't care much about what others think about him and [...] Read more » High Stakes: Sickest hand ever? (VIDEO)

Helmuth has his blowups and they should harass him from time to time. I love it when he loses against some "idiot from northern Europe!". But this clip, I don't know. It's just a bit too cruel, even for him.

Posted by T3ddyKGB: why is everyone so happy except phil - too funny. i just didnt get the point why he asked to deal the hand 4 times...just stupid as tony says.
I think that if there weren't any cameras present it would be much worse @ jevoooo, it's about money and there are no robots at the table, in this case its phil hellmuth and you know he's gonna give you more money after a beat, so daniel is not being a jerk and if you know anything about poker you know what he's doing. Phil wanted to run it 4 times cause he was kind of slowrolling and felt guilty about it and also this would make him look good on camera because running it twice, three times is kind of his thing to minimize bad beats (stupid if you ask me but im not a highstakes-player), this totally backfired and it was great television and daniel maybe did get a bit excited for several reasons, yes but I dont think he was out of line. Phil is out of line a whole lot of times, I do kind of I think maybe like his pokerstyle but as a person he's a f**kin douche, the kind of person that does not sometimes act like he's better than other people (not just in poker) but actually believes this to be a fact, douche! I didnt think much of viffer peat either until last PAD cashgame he came in and busted Phil in like 2 hands, I had no sympathy for Phil because immediately after he is talking about how he outplayed everyone on the table but still busted (WTF? YOURE THIS BLIND?) while it was obvious he got outplayed almost every hand, no problem there but just get the f**k out the building or atleast say you had a bad day, douche!

I love this guy... he's just a classic poker head. He thinks he's the nuts and everyone else is just a fish. The fact is he's a great player i dont think anyone will disaggree with that but the fact he gets so worked up abnd takes everything soooooo seriously is just funny funny funny. If thwere was a prize for the best actor it'd have to go to him yeah!..... I'm sure he's just acting this part as people expect it of him.

I must admit it's really funny video. I already saw it at some other forum... Good for Phil cause he was so "i am so great" but the guys around after while starts to be annoying as hell not funny imho.
I don't like Phil
