if history is in the making then all that is left to do is to update the definitions of coexistence and hope for the best in terms of destructive actions of meridians and excessive razz action on the tables. i am sure phill has all the tool in his arsenal to reshape the history and take us back to stone-age.

He did well,I think he won the razz tourney a couple of years ago,he does seem to focus a lot of time to these type of games. As for he is the best,I don't think so,when he won in 1989 there was less than 200 players entered for the main event,still $10,000 buyin though.The poker ability needed to win against a field of 8000 or however many are entered has changed drastically since 1989.

Yeah P. Hellmuth is a great player many people recognize that but not enough people give him the credits he deserve, you need to check out those youtube videos about his melting down to see why some people think he is a joke though he is a very skilled player but just a bit fiery when one outered or runnered lol.
Anyway good luck and have fun watching wsop. I am!

He is a great player and i like him most of all the professional players, but i cant say he is not lucky with all these wins he had so far. It is not like he is playing with people that have no clue about the game and managed to get so many WSOP titles

I was also really hoping that Phil Hellmuth would go on and take this tournament and win yet another bracelet but it was not to be. He finished second to Ted Forrest but he did really well so there is hope that he can win at least one more this year
