  • Not a good flop for the aces though.

  • "honey I lost with AA"

  • why didnt he reraise with aces.....i think thats standard right?

  • @fateplus1 reraise?? They would have called him anyway.

  • @fateplus1 Some people like to smooth call Aces or Kings pre-flop. It's called slowplaying, or setting the trap, hoping that your hand will still be the best after the flop, and you can either bet then and get some extra chips, or check and induce a bluff. Sometimes it blows up in your face though.

  • @Foxhound3857 you are an idiot cause thats true but in that situation at wsop main event to let 4 other players in lol goofballs

  • @holdem5180 Which is why I said "sometimes it blows up in your face."

    Learn how to read, dumbass.

  • hey phil, don't take a flop 5 ways with aces...

  • don't bother looking for Marky1989's original comment, it's been removed... what a waste of time

  • Those calls preflop are not good if the players aren't very deep. I mean the guy with 89s had 22k in the pot and his all in was for 83k, that's means he put approx 20% of his stack in the pot with 89s. An argument can be made it was a multiway pot but I still think it's going to be a losing play in the long run. The JTo, it looked like the guy had about 400k in chips and he has position. It's not as bad as the 89s but still a questionable call imo.

  • i just don't get it how did they draw

  • nothing is better then phil losing

  • LOL ... I first read the title as "phil hellmuth knocked up ..." ... momentarily quite funny

  • But Phil was trapping the other 4 players.

  • the play with 89 shocking

  • Jesus, I would be annoyed too, but not insult the other players (the worst players on the world) - that's just unbelievably bad behaviour.

  • shit this guy is a moron...how the hell did he win 11 bracelets? the guy had two frickin pair!!!! why the hell wouldn't he call....he had the big stack....

  • He played those aces like a cunt.

  • Helmuth got too many callers going to the flop... semi-dangerous flop, draws n shit.

  • What does he expect if he doesn't reraise. Phil is not aggresive enough. 

  • lol thats not a bad beat. he has the bad habit of flat calling with overpairs all the time. yet again he got what he deserved for playing that hand horrible.

  • ah Phil you cant catch a break. still the man tho 11 bracelets keep going.I would be so pissed if i lost to that chink cunt hyiung aswell.

  • Phil Hellmuth is NOT the greatest poker player cmon doyle brunson,phil evey,gus hansen,negreanu,nguygen are way better then phil.not raise with AA is a pro move against 4 ppl?the asian guy played well had enough chips to see the flop then to pay all in.phil played poorly.

  • what makes that stupid asian shit thing he's so important? with two all ins before him, he calls with top 2 even though both players before him played their hands like a set, not to mention the flush draw to go along with it.

  • I think Phil played it well. Cmon you're gonna deny that calling with J10 is a dumb play? 

  • Comment removed

  • These guys need to rub salt in his wound. He deserves it all.

  • that's why you should reraise with AA preflop and not going so see the flop with 4 other ppl lol

  • pHIL IS NO DOUBT A WHINER...BUT HE IS ALSO THE GREATEST TO EVER PLAY THE GAME...BAR NONE.

  • Slow playing AA pre flop is looking for trouble. Everyone knows that. He should of re-raised the 22k preflop. What an idiot, then he has a go at Hsiung for callin an all in with top two pair. Hellmuth give it up you suck!!!

  • lol people think helmuths rants r out of anger he does it to present a kind of image that has won him 11 bracelets and has u idiots thinking that hes doing that emotionally haha nah hes doing it intelligently just smarten up and ull see.

  • I thought it was david choi playing.

  • put it this way, PHIL was good back then, today theres ivey, dwan, juanda and etc, which is why phil is not the number one

  • @Marky1989N, donks who have never won at poker should definitely call a proven champion like Hellmuth washed up. LOL.

  • is it bad beat???

  • You don't get to see the preflop action... but if Phil allowed that many people to get into the hand then he did it to himself. AA vs 4 other hands all in post flop is going to get you knocked out most of the time. The only hands that call you are ones that have you drawing to 5 outs or are drawing to no less then 12 outs. Phil is going to have to do some searching because the level of the game has passed him by.

  • I really don't get Phil's attitude here. Surely hands like 89s and 10j are good hands to play in a multi way pot like this. Why Phil didn't re pop the opening raiser I never know. BTW what does Phil say to the guy with J10 when he is contemplating the call I cant make it out?

  • if everybody played by the book poker would be boring lol

  • PHIL IS A MORON ITS SIMS THAT AGAINST HIM YOU CAN ONLY PLAY WITH AA OR KK END SOMETIMES WITH QQ IDIOT

  • @sasonose1985 Really. Have you read your comment?

  • Phil seems to just expect everyone to fold to his all in.. i feel his pain, going out with AA would suck, but go all in pre-flop if you want those J 10 and 9 8's to fold.. AA is only good preflop anyway or after if no one hits.. id almost rather have a connector after the flop anyway.. more hands can hit.. phil should have checked or folded and waited till he had the nuts.. AA was not the nuts in that sitch.. a pro like phil shoulda known and folded.

  • on your bike phil

  • You cant do that to the great phil hellmuth and expect to get away with it!!! Phil is still the greatest poker player of all time!! We're all witnesses!!

  • japanese j-10o donk hwahhahaha

  • i thought phil got knock the fuck out

  • how can anybody not be pissed off with that, he made an error in not reraising but these bingo donks always hit the nuts

  • hellmuth might be a tunc BUT at the end of the day he holds 11 bracelets. no one else in the world can say that.

  • Yeah, another bad beat but I can appreciate his pain. However, he wouldn't be in that spot had he 3-bet pre-flop all-in. He priced in J10 of-suit to call from the button (i'm assuming thats where it was) and 9h8h by simply flat calling pre. A rookie mistake playing AA, IMHO. Don't limp with AA. Mind you, he did get a slow-roll which may have triggered the blow-up

  • the fact of the matter is, he has lost it. people can throw out all these stats, 11 bracelets etc. but this hand is a true example of where he is at the moment. a good player would be re-raising with rockets in this situation. FACT. the fact that he didnt is what meant he got 'bad bad,' if you can call it that.

  • @james15us Have you ever played poker? you cant take ONE hand and base everything off of that. No one can escape making a "bad" play now and again, not even whoever you think is the best poker player. Phil is oldschool, but he has shown time and again he can hang. The fact that he''s made a living at it while over 90% of the players lose should tell you something. I love watching him in pain BUT, still gotta give him respect.

  • probably the best tournament player in the world, 3 final tables and went heads up all 3 but came up short in 2011, and none are nl holdem, great player, hopefully he'll make a deep run in the Main Event

  • watch funny4moneyhoney for some great poker tricks

  • It's not a bad beat for Phil. He was behind both of them apparently. It would have been a bad beat if they went all-in pre-flop and he lost with AA.

    It's a bad beat for Hsuing. He was ahead and lost, but still got some of Phil's chips.

  • phil hellmuth is a jack-off suit

  • 8-9 suited are awesome call. Id call a raise fuck you hellmuth

  • lol helmuth say worst players but why he make not a reraise with the aces. The other players got good stacks and hsiyung and jenkings have fantastic pot odds to call

  • people who are bitching that he's not that good forget that he atleast was great ;-) You just wished you had won half of his bracelets and pricemoney

  • Honestly he should have just reraised preflop

  • Phils just not up to it anymore, he was good when poker was easy but now its a different game and all his rants and talk about how he's the greatest ever are designed to convince himself more so then anyone else, anybody who knows anything about poker knows Phil is no where near the best ever not even close, in the modern game he is no more then a below average player when a big head, give up Phil please ur embarrassing yourself.

  • @Marky1989N1 Why was Poker easier back in the days and now is not? I don't know much about Poker, that's why i'm asking.

  • @stefts1; ok saying it was easy is a little untrue but it was alot easier then it is these days, very few people knew how to play the game properly, these days there are millions of players around the world who are so much better then Hellmuth thats why he never wins anymore.

  • @stefts1 the reason why the game was easier u got more players they understand poker, (odds,outs pot odds and so on).When u go today in a casino in most time u have on a 10 seater table 7-8 players with no skill they call everythink. A good player can fold a hand the no-skill player (donks/fishes) call with maybe a 5-15% hand to the end. So u lost more hand u can make money with the idiots but u got more bad beats. It´s hard work to play against idiots. When u have only good players on the table

  • ... u got many fun but with too may donks on the table playing is not really funny

  • @Marky1989N1 Wtf are you talking about? Phil is still winning tournaments, you idiot. God people like you just talk out of your ass.

  • @DoctorGaga87: What tournments is Phil winning? I havent heard of him winning anything.

  • @Marky1989N1 three 2nd place finishes in this years wsop. thats not winning, but you cant get any close than that. .....face

  • @Marky1989N1 Try dreaming about three runner up finishes in WSOP 2011 and the POY leadership. Then go back to flipping burgers and your mundane worthless life.

  • Comment removed

  • @jkpriyan: Did he blow a 5 to 1 chip lead heads up in the players championship, haha he bottled it again!

  • @Marky1989N1 lol so true i dont think i've ever seen a replay with him winning a gigantic pot or him making a good play. all his replays are him crying or bitching lmao

  • @simplelife008: Exactly he is famous for his outbursts and blow up's NOT for his poker, Somebody says Phil Hellmuth straight away you think of a guy who has a hugh ego and loses his temper all the time, Somebody says Phil Ivey and straight away you think or a brilliant poker player nothing else.

  • @Marky1989N1 he may be annoying as fuck but he's funny to laugh AT lol

  • @Marky1989N1 Look at his results at the wsop 2011 -.-.. You guys are just judging one on his temporary play.. I think he worked a lot on his game and came back to a pro level.. I think every pro goes by this hard times..

  • @djsinya: He has had a very good world series this year but you cannot forget the fact its the first times hes done well in ages! He is a has been and will never be anything more than that! Have you ever seen him out play any of the top pro's? No and the reason for that is because he is no better then your average player.

  • @Marky1989N1 I dont think so, he's a very good pro.. He has to work on his game that's right, but he's not an average player.. He's a regular millionnaire pro, not as good as Ivey or others but he's still way better than average..

  • @Marky1989N1 Im no Hellmuth fan , but his credentials alone show he's no "average" player. He has 11 bracelets(which was a record), spanning from 89-07.(that's pretty recent) 45 final tables. Even though i love watching him lose, a lot of what he says is true.. I mean, he got beat by a 9 8 that called. He had aces. I just stated fact, he's no "average", and he's very consistent in a growing game.. He's just whiny.

  • @JamesHarmeson: Meh u say he got beat by 8 9 but he alloud the guy to call, Of u watch this hand in full hellmuth just calls a raise with AA which allows the guys to call with J10 and 9 8, this hand was his own fault. anyway besides this hand he hasnt played well in years, although he did have a good wsop this yr. he's great entertainment and has alot of convidence but im afraid this is the beat that can be sais about him because he is not as good as Ivey Huck Daniel Chan ect.....

  • @Marky1989N1 Well as long as you realize that is your opinion thats fine. He isn't average that's all im saying, heck half of the people playing in these tourney's probably got better from reading his books.. I personally think Ivey is the best player in the world, but in no way should you call Hellmuth an average if some of those pros are better then him. He's a pro, with 11 bracelets, enough said.

  • @Marky1989N1 since when did the game of poker change from easy to hard? lol you suggest funny things

  • @Marky1989N1

    Indeed pokar has changed, but it doesnt mean that players dont addapt to the changes. Doyle Brunson has recently won his 10th bracelet. The difference between the champiosn and players like jenkins and Hsiung is that the last two only win this time but will lose the next 10 times. Do you think that Phil Hellmuth is still playing the same way he played 20 years ago? Give me a break kid, he will win soon his 12th bracelet, I can garantee you that.

  • @EvAngelion67: Doyle Brunson's, who i think is a true legend, last bracelet came in 2005, as for Hellmuth i just dont see all the hype he creates for himself, he thinks he is a god. He had a good wsop this year but again no bracelet. I dont see him winning anymore bracelets in his carrerr because the top pros now and the new internet kids are just too good for him.

  • @Marky1989N1 That's a funny comment, how do you explain his three 2nd place finishes this world series?

  • @aaadddaaammm777: As i said he has had a good wsop, anybody can have a good wsop he was just running well, still not a great player.

  • @Marky1989N1 Sorry but were you alive at this years wsop?

  • @Marky1989N1 you're a fucking idiot

  • @Marky1989N1 lol listen to the youtube poker pro here. Are you insane? Do you really think it's a fluke that this guy has won so many bracelets? He is the best tournament player in the world and he's absolutely right in saying these are some of the worst players in the world. Everyone who called that 3 bet did so with god awful hands and with roughly 15%-25% of their stacks. Only Phil called with a real hand, and nobody could expect the rest to call too. You're awful so stfu. Go raise with K-3

  • @Marky1989N1 I'm gonna have to break down what you just stated here,cuz it makes no sense but somehow got 13 thumbs up. You say that he was only good when poker was easy yet the guy just cashed five times with three 2nd place finishes good for over 1.5 million dollars in the 2011 wsop.Not many "below average" players can do that.He hasnt went more than 4 years since 89 without winning a bracelet which he also is tied with the most at 11.A brat, yes...but he's fun to watch. Show a little respect

  • @Willbo1982 totally agree

    

  • @Marky1989N1 god how can people be so stupid, ignorant, obtuse and arrogant? youtube never ceases to amaze me.....I can't be bothered to explain why you are, but make no mistake, you are, quite wrong.

  • @Marky1989N1 You can debate that Hellmuth had his best world series ever in 2011, so....

  • Kinda funny to see an unknown (at that point) Dennis Phillips sitting at the table at 0:16

  • 6k/3k blinds, 1k ante, guy raises early with 3.75xBB, and Phil just flat calls the raise with AA. At that point by not reraising I think he's just inviting others to come on in with speculative hands, and it's his fault for not realizing with 5 players to the flop he's probably behind at that point to a set or two pair. Plus the club and straight draws hurt him too. Questionable play on his part. Phil = FAIL

  • @balooko31 Well said balooko, right on every point. However, Phil remains my favourite player, always worth watching!

  • @balooko31 i don't think he expected 3 more players to call

  • @DkwonX Sometimes when you try to slow play a big hand, it comes back to haunt you. Phil usually has the discipline to lay down a big hand when it's clear that he's behind. My criticism was a simple argument: if you are willing to risk slow playing a big hand, you have to be disciplined enough to lay it down when you are likely behind on the flop. This is a fairly uncommon misplay by Phil in the Main Event, but a misplay nonetheless.

  • @balooko31 if a player like phil is a fail what the hell should we call you?

  • @1978utreg Someone with better reading comprehension skills than you. Clearly I was critiquing Phil's play on that hand, not his career achievements. Congratulations at proving your lack of a decent education. 1978utreg = FAIL (something you are probably used to, right?)

  • @balooko31 why say phil=fail? then you doný say that only this hand was bad ;-)

  • @1978utreg I detailed this one hand, said it was a questionable play, then said Phil=Fail. I didn't criticize his life, accomplishments, or anything other than this one hand. I can't see how I could've made my thoughts more clear.

  • @balooko31 it does not prove my lack of education because English is my 3rd best language you nitwit.

    I just tought because you put 'phil=fail' at the end that it was some sort of a opinion of him as a player! My mistake but you dont have to talk down on me because if we would have this discussion in dutch then you would look like the uneducated one ;-)

  • i can understand phil, but what do you want it's tournament lol

  • actually.... you know that the most players that see the flop when you have aces,the less the chances you have to win,right?

  • you wouldnt expect to lose to both with AA but thats poker .. ive lost count the amount of times i lost with them

  • LOL you suck Phil you should have run them out pre-flop you doofus LMFAO!!!

  • He should've reraised these are late stages of a tournament you gotta protect equity cause you don't have enough blinds behind. Simple as that. Nothing wrong with calling that raise with 10J probably given what his stack looked like.

  • he played his aces like shit he didnt even make a monster bet pre flop. he just gave everyone a chance to see the board letting them catch something

  • yeah,25k,that has to suck

  • Phil ha ragione porco dio! 2 capre uno che chiama con 8 e 9 e un altro pieno di chip che chiama con j10 off

    io comunque avrei piazzato un re raise preflop con aa in modo che queste capre non venissero dentro,ma penso che quello con j 10 veniva lo stesso

  • @Phenomeno88 No, he is the fish! He should have raised preflop to make 98s and JTo fold. They called because of odds I suppose. He played AA like donks do!

  • JT and 89s wouldnt call a raise + re-raise !

    that's what Phil gets, he wants to trap too much

  • something has got to be stuck up hsiungs ass, guys a fuckin douche

  • @bohemia187 How is he a douche? Anyone who is a douche is Helmuth .Rushing someone while they're trying to make a decision. Do you know anything about poker etiquette . There should be more players out there stand up to that fat fuck who constantly ragging people of how bad they play.

  • @bohemia187 true but you gotta remember he's had to sit at a poker table with Hellmuth for hours and hours and the guy's not especially friendly either.

  • FUCKU HELLMUTH U DESERVED THAT BITCH

  • i love seeing phil loose its so gratifying ... lol

  • @AugiTheGreat1 he too cocky he needs to lose lol

  • @AugiTheGreat1

    lol idiot you can't even spell lose.

  • @AugiTheGreat1 i love how u cant spell "lose" its so retarded

  • @MrAlio101 Yup I like how you can Troll Around dumb Fuck

  • @AugiTheGreat1 LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOO OMG I LOVE SEEING HIM LOOSE NOT BECAUSE I HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST HIM, (HE REALLY IS A GOOD POKER PLAYER) BUT BECAUSE I JUST LOVE HIS EXPRESSIONS AND HOW HE STILL TALKS SMACK TO THE PLAYERS AFTER LOOSING.

  • Hellmuth played his hand properly. But then he makes himself look ridiculous by moaning about the outcome. I thought there was a good chance that someone could have been drawing clubs or might have had KQ for a possible straight.

  • 2pairs are good wtf hellmuth talkin about!!!

  • why not raising the aces before the flop? he is a top player but this was a real FAIL

  • 5 way pot with aces, pretty bad. then going allin, someone could have hit

  • if i was phil i would put all my chips all in because pair aces always have a big chance of bad beat. damn he is so unlucky everytime!

  • With AA or any other high pockets, you only want to be up against one opponent, they'll nearly always be some type of draw or pair on that flop, always raise big pre-flop with them and chuck in another big raise on the flop, that way you'll get your value and protect them

  • phil is an asswipe

  • he sayin they the worst players in the world...he only calls a raise with aces, out of position knowing there are more players to act behind him. His fault no one elses!

  • i hate phil hes the epitamy of an asshole

  • i hate getting bad beat it hurts so so much

  • why dont people understand that slow ROLLING and slow PLAYING are two different things!

  • @kemoblue4u Cuz I'm gay, and in our world. There's tops and bottoms, and bottom on top.

  • "These are some of the worst players in the entire world over here" hahahahaha

  • The guy makes a good call with j 10 and phil still gets pissed and acts like he made a dumb move. He always has an excuse!!!

  • stupid phil, wtf was he expecting? Hsuing had 4:1 odds, position, and a big stack during preflop, calling with J10 is almost standard. On the flop, phil did not want a 3 handed actions, if Hsiung called, phil knows he was very likely to be beaten by at least one of them. WTF is wrong with phil, he acts like it's injustice when he loose a hand. The stupid ego me must have.

  • if those are the worst players in the world what does that make him is he lost to them

  • @coffee484

    poker is also part luck.. it doesnt mean a great player can never lose to a rank beginner.. Its not like chess where a newbie can never win agaisnt Karpov. in the LONG RUN however, the poker brat will win and thats what poker is about

  • LOL Hsiung told Hellmuth to "Shut up!"  hahahahhaha!!!

  • its so annoying when phil thinks he is immune to people thinking hes bluffing or semi-bluffing. what a donkey joker...

  • @99Sorc Oh yeah,a guy with the most wsop bracelets ever won is a donkey. Your the guy watching him on tv and you like him enoguh to search him up on the internet,I think you need to rethink who the donkey is.

  • wonder if he needs a tissue

  • What a cry baby.

  • lol. at jenkins packing up then seeing his straight.

    1:56

  • its a worse play just calling with AA than it is calling with J10o or 89s in a 4 way pot! those hands flop so well and u have massive odds!!!

  • @stratocaster9631 They dont have massive odds and most of the time they dont flop well. Just take 89s or J10o and see how well they hit the flop with a regular deck of cards. It doesnt hit that much,those are the kind of hands you play in position or try and see a cheap flop.

  • Phil needs to read up on a concept called reverse implied odds

  • have to disagree with hellmuth. worst players my ass. 2 pairs beat ya

  • I like how Hsiung says SHUT UP!!! like a valley girl.

  • these guys are the worst players in the world. idiot players from nothern europe. You the best ever phil

  • Fucking donks

  • lol fidothedog u havent played poker much do ya? calling pre flop with AA when FOUR other players call is bad becuz even with all other guys hold weak hands the chance of winning sinks dramatically just becuz of the fact u have to play 8 other cards. besides as mentioned earlier he had 20BB left and early position so he would best be of with a good raise, then only one guy would call him and the aces would most likely hold up

  • @Devilfish6666 - shut da fck up! first of all phil called the raise... and the donkeys after him called to... it s never a bad play to slow playing aces against the inicial raiser, of course if the utg raises and get called by two or more player and u hold aces it s a obvious and standart "squeeze", u need to pop up to play just against one player or 2 MAX! in that situation its never a bad play... phil can t knew they marginal hands on a main even even if they had pot odds!

  • @joizinho with a late position you can slow play them. with phils early position he should have reraised to prevent exactly this from happening. btw i like phil, so i dont criticize him jsut cuz im a hellmuth hater. but thats just the way it is

  • @Devilfish6666 - Sorry bro... but i don t agree with that, eveybody says that phil sucks, bla bla bla...he is rude, arrogant but he isnt a bad poker player at MTT... he sucks at cash games but he is one of the best at MTT´s... he slow played in earlier position for hoping someone squeeze the pot and than he standart shove with AA and win a big... it was a risky play... but wasn t bad, theu just suck out on him

  • EVERY DUDE WHO THINKS IT IS A BAD PLAY... ITS CALLED TRAPPING. U GET MORE CHIPS BECAUSE OF IT

  • @Fidothedog11212 Trapping with 20BB left in early position is a bad play..., trapping does pay off, but you need to find a good spot for it. This was obviously a very very very bad spot and a very very very bad play.

  • @KuceraLukas you explained it very well. I agree

  • @Fidothedog11212 lololol donk logic from you right there

  • Stupid white boy,phil. That what you get for slow play,especially in a tourament.

  • thats why you dont just smooth call 22k preflop..inviting everyone else in with those kinds of hands giving them pot odds. he signed his own bye bye

  • @pjakins actually it giving them implied odds :)

  • phill is such a whineing bitch thats why its so much fun to watch him lose

  • fuck that gook

  • TERRIBLE play Phil. You deserved to go out on this hand.

  • Hellmuth.. has a nasty habit of slowplaying big hands preflop, either looking to trap but no takers or just too sly. At least from various shows ive seen him play. Not saying you have to raise big everytime predictably idk but in that situation at least not good
