hehe.

alaska

AND

hawaii?

hehe, its nice to see a rich person enjoy making their kids happy.

way to go fil helmuth

[xTempesTx]

This guy is a joke, this guy is the biggest little bitch I've ever seen in my life. When he wins with a sub-par hand he's a genius, when he loses to a sub-par hand the other guy is an idiot and one of the worst players in the world. The guy's ego is fucking ridiculous, every time he wines masculinity weeps, and his parents must've been worthless to raise such an egomaniac.

[kevinswayne54]

Ye are a bunch of retards if you think hellmuth is a bad player. How can he win 11 bracelets purely on luck it's not possible he is obviously a great player

[fetisov02]

he's won 11 bracelets...talk about luck, this guy is a giant turd

[borsss]

moron

[rawdog268]

youll never see another bracelet ass monkey

[NukeGenious]

Melissa Castelo is one of those girls that doesn't have to knee. ;D

She's cute. :)

[Harlingtonjnr3]

Man what poker player does not know the feeling of being donked? Saying that though PH, whilst annoying, is an exceptional poker player.

[RiNSpy]

What the hell, is that girl a midget?

[skaloon]

@RiNSpy

no, Phil is just tall as fuck

[DoctorScrumpy]

LMAO eat shit & die you fucking queer bastard

[luckybob692]

like he is the only one who loses? jackass

[Partizan1379]

i feel like i deserve better, well phil ... welcome to the club

deep cash game poker is the true poker, the real deal!

i dont understand why he played with dwan ivey antonius benyamin ..., he cant beat them! bad game selection!

and if he cant beat them, are they more genius? super genius?

[PFCManiak]

Best Holdem player Ever... 11 Bracelets proving that

[M3rl1nHR]

@PFCManiak Yes, but totaly idiot

[isaydjyousaybo]

lol Phil Hellmuth is such a whiny retard.

Luck is a part of poker, if he wants to play a game with no luck he should just go play chess.

Course he'd probably suck at that too.

[fitzy431]

how would poker work without luck, that doesnt even make sense, if there were no suckouts it would revert to a game of luck being who is dealt the best hand.

[Gytax0]

Phil, Tony G, Devilfish <3

[MissOvercast]

What a whiney crone. Seriously if there wasn't luck in poker it wouldn't be poker!!! I watch so much poker....cash games, I've never seen him play well and win a massive pot. ever. terd.

[Disney312]

I saw him pull off a bluff against Mike Matusow on High Stakes Poker where he played a 72 and got Mike to lay down Queens, winning a pretty substantial pot. He has played some big pots in cash games..doesn't work for him every time..but he does in fact have the poker chops to do it.

[Beerschot]

Yeah, he does whine sometimes, but what many people forget is that he RIGHTEOUSLY whines when idiots indeed make crazy plays and suck out on him. But what are you saying about never seen him play well???? Either you've never seen him play or you're a big cunt. He's a brilliant player and nice guy outside of poker.

[MissOvercast]

he actually got mike to lay down kk, just so you know disney, and if he is a nice guy outside poker, than maybe he should be nice all the time, i'll give him credit though because he told daniel negreanu yesterday he now realises his game is outdated and he is going to start working on it.

[Beerschot]

wow KK never head of that!! :s go to sleep, cunt

[pedromiguel0007]

Bigest ego ive ever seen in my life...xD...poker brat ftw...xD

[604PENNYWISE]

this guy is great! and hes a real nice guy in person!

check out my video of him and brad booth

search: brad booth phil hellmuth

[Offsides09]

LOL! You gotta love Phil. High comedy.

[Moonblood00]

seeing one on one interviews like this...like i find him very rude and unmanneristic alot of the time...but i find you get to see another side of him and he doesnt seem like that bad of a man.

[kristenerkul]

botox?

[andos8888]

u cant just tell when phil busts at the ME of the WSOP he just wants to die right there and then lol

[MrSmartComment]

phils interview translated : I am the greatest yes ia am great so great geniu yes geniu im einstein oi poker im SOOOO great but these idiots who cant even spell poker somehow beat me

[PFCManiak]

he is greatest :) 11 Braclets saying that ;)

[bcinvincible123]

Phil Hellmuth is the greatest. He has poker in his blood and veins; he has so much feel for the game that he's a near genius.

though his attitude sometimes is... like an idiot.

Still.. Phil Hellmuth is the greatest

[swingdocta]

wow he looks like crap

[visionoflove69]

After watching Phil Helmuth played poker, I was surprised and couldn't understand why he won 11 bracelets. I guess he's been lucky all that time and he himself thought it was all his skill. If he was skillful he wouldn't have lost those pots but he allowed the other players to beat him by playing too conservative and doesn't have the ball to shove it all in to protect his winning hands. Then he cried about it afterwards. Phil I need to give u lesson how to protect ur winning hands.

[Undertaker3879]

I really think it takes more than luck to win 11 WSOP bracelets.

[peaceinside25]

ha ha ha

take it easy fella...

[bnz500]

Somebody call the waaaambulance

[donhavrano]

guy call raise with Q10 - i saw that, was nothing wrong with callin... he's often whinin kid

[almav1979]

he loves the camera..........he reminds me of Mario Lemieux lolol

[Dan742617000027]

Yeah Phil Hellmuth is just being honest about what he saw during the tournament.

In Phil's mind, he had the best pre-flop cards everytime.

[FullTiltAdvisor]

I've seen Phil run good a lot of times, he is whining too much. Though he is a very good player, and obviously he makes less mistakes than the average player - and therefore receive a few more beats, deal with it, Phil ;D

[Dan742617000027]

I think Phil Hellmuth can deal with it because even the big buy-in events don't cost him that much.

[FullTiltAdvisor]

It's not the money. It's his ego.

[Dan742617000027]

You should watch some wsop '09 videos. Phil Hellmuth is different in these episodes. He seems more relaxed & he's playing hands like 8 4 & 9 2.

[FullTiltAdvisor]

I've seen all '09 videos, he seems friendlier too.

[Dan742617000027]

Yeah he sure does. I wonder how long friendly Phil will last.

[goodolt70s]

yes ok,phil can be what he once called someone,("a goofball" ) lol,but come on people,phil is one hell of a charachter.

love or hate him,he,s a great poker player.he takes the game very seriously and very often he has bad luck,has crazy bad beats.the thing is,if the same happened to you,most of you people would be pissed just like phil,the difference is,he shows his emotions.

in this interview he,s actually very humble & is just reflecting on exactly how the tourney went.

[TheJOliver]

bad looser with a huge chip on his shoulder (no pun intended)

[xxxAlain]

Oh yah .. if there weren´t luck in poker ..

many people wouldn´t be known at the moment and the same amount that you don´t know would ..

you also had lucky so many times .. why do you keep saying that ?! =P

[lda1989]

He is a great player with a bad attitude. I like his playing style: plays safe, not going all in on draws and bust people as bad as they do to him! Just playing good when feeling he's in front, and bluffing when he feels he can bluf someone out. But there's always bad luck in poker and he can't stand it lol. But some 'idiots' need that luck to stay alive in a tournament, Phill doesn't aaaaaaight!

[TheBestProducer]

did u just say that phil doesnt need luck? are u crazy?!?! everybody needs luck that was by far the dumbest comment

[lda1989]

I said 'that luck'. The luck you need with lose all ins. Off course he needs luck, everyone needs luck in poker. I meant he doesn't need that much luck all the time!

[rommi27]

i think he is a good pokerplayer but he has a shit charakter

[pakman10]

pathetic.

[andrew5736]

go home

[wc3415]

wow this guy is in love with himself

[kamiar]

biggest gay i've ever seen

[TheRollie82]

he may do things that constitute an ass whoopin' but truth be told he has 11 bracelets. that makes him the best right now. he really does play great

[RafaelMarcF22]

That depends on your point of view. He won 11 bracelets over 20 years. There are a lot of very strong pros who didn't play 20 years yet, so what is it worth? One day his record will be cracked. Also he got lucky a lot of times. Not only at the table. For all the cursing he does he had should been banned from a lot of tournaments, but rules were stretched for him, just because it's good for the TV.

[mrboomer1]

well judging by what you are saying johnny chan and doyle brunson are not good because they been playing for 40 years etc. hellmuth is the best no limit holdem tournament player around.

[RafaelMarcF22]

The difference is that Johny Chan and Doyle Brunson are not walking down the street, screaming "I'm the best in the world". Beeing the most successfull tournament player, doesn't make him automatically the best player. Cause he is not. ;)

[mrboomer1]

the thing is that he has the most cashes at the wsop he has the most final tables at the wsop he has the most braceltes at the wsop and he has reached 2 final tables of the main event at the wsop winning one beating chan heads up who was the best player back then.

[ShredTheGnar690]

Ivey will have 15+ bracelets by the time he is 45.

[mrboomer1]

but he ha no bracelets in texas holdem. all his braclets are in other poker games.

[ShredTheGnar690]

He will eventually get some no limit hold em bracelets. He has been coming very close. I believe he has a World Poker Tour title in no limit hold em however.

[visionoflove69]

Wake up Phil, you have no talent just alot of whines and crybabies

[tyrellarson]

well he is talented. He is just he biggest fooking bad loser ever and has an enourmously inflated opinion of himself. He is actually the first person i actually really enjoy seeing get totally destroyed on hands. No sympathy. Well him and tony g.

[BabehLJ]

he should actually get them cheeks sorted out and he would look sorta normal i think.

[CantorRage]

"yestaaday"

[ElitePokerPlayer]

he is a very talented and very patient...he is the best so far

[Barto1361]

phil, sometimes playing brilliant isn't enough.

[Dimera09]

He has eight nipples.

[jpjames1]

He is very tall and a bit fat

[balladish]

What a douche.

[Cardsnake]

lol he's hillarius.. last 30 sec is awesome:P

[Tuxster3]

I love the fact that Phil doesn't like to play for all of his chips.

Phil is definitely a SKILLED player!

[metalfluffy]

so sweet and gentle in this video, she's a dwarf

[Doryano]

He always expect people to believe what he represents.... pathetic.

[seswalshie]

what a wanker, hellmuth is an arrogant prick, delighted for him losin

[lundh888]

In my mind he is the best no-limit-holdêm tournament player in the world for sure.

Even tho his attitude is not the best

[doognadoshi]

@lundh888 u can't be serious?

[patd19]

It would be pretty sweet if Hellmuth wins the main event this year, 20 years after his first one.

[mickzter1]

hellmuth didnt win in 2008 u bellend it was Peter Eastgate!

[Nishil01]

Hellmuth - 2008

Nguyen - 2007

Hachem - 2006

Raymer - 2005

which main event winner will have a deep, deep run this year

2009 - ?

[jbranham23]

Dont know but one wish of mine is to see at least a couple established pros at the final table.

[Nishil01]

who do you reckon that will be?

my favourite this year - Barry Greenstein & Phil laak

[jbranham23]

Its so tough to say who. Its really like a crap shoot with such a big field at the Main Event but I consider Phil Hellmuth the best no limit hold em tournament player in the world so I would have to choose him. Him and Matusow at the final table would be huge for ratings.

[Nishil01]

totally man, maybe when the field is cut to 100 remaining players then i will go for someone. Hellmuth and Matusow are familiar faces in main event deep runs, wont suprise me if they can do it

[MYACEHIGHISGOOD]

Phil laak for 2009?

Id be surprised if he got any were near the final table.Personally i think is well out his league when going on high stakes on the same table as players like hellmuth,ivey and dwan ect.

Laacks an above average player but not in the top 20 or even 50 realy.

[martinmc11ira]

phil laak? are u you sure your not smoking crack as as u wrote that?

[ladiesman987456321]

eastgate- 2008

yang-2007

gold-2006

hatchem-2005

raymer-2004

2009-Nguyen or Hatchem

[Nishil01]

im Australian, if it came down to those great players, i'd back Hachem

[Tassadar11]

hes one of the best who cares. People make more of a fuss over him being arrogant than professional athletes taking steroids.

[Alexwozere]

Nah he is an arrogant shit, tbh there are people better out there than him these days...

[richanhard]

he towers over that chick

[anesthetize1me]

oh shut up phil

[ATHL3TE]

Haaha :D

I just love Phil Hellmuth.. yeah he's a cry baby and arrogant but just a legend among men in some ways and a brill player :D

[blacktopaz8]

i love him but he is definately a crybaby. I'd love to beat him some day. God that would be sweet.

[zoleytt]

Anzboy phil said he check called on fourth street lol he didnt lie

[vikesh81]

Phil Hellmuth must be Mr Bad Beat Himself !!! One big hard luck story !!!!

[andos8888]

11 bracelets and millions made hardly a hard luck story is it

[Aznboy4500]

lol wut a liar

hellmuth bet called both his set / 2pair hand

"i check called both" loll

[Th3Z0ne]

everything phil says is accurate, he just says what's on his mind and it comes across as being cocky and arrogant but at the end of the day he is an incredible player and he's not shy about mentioning it

[tcfancy]

I give credit to Phil...he is the best.You might sweer at me but thats my opinion.

[2Solid4Ya]

He can talk shit like the best!

ok maybe he can play poker but he needs to calm the fuck down

[milankiev7]

he's choked up

[yuri610]

he's almost crying^^

[atowersshaw]

I know - he must have been a horrible kid

[Jowind]

he's said that the WSOP is his life. sad as that may be, it explains why he might be a little choked up.

[Smoking799]

Yeah,I must agree.He's a complete idiot but he's talented.

[AyrtonSennaBra]

A lucky idiot :+

[mindgam3s]

Definetly an idiot, a talented idiot though.

[woutertt]

idiot

[KILLALAlad]

he is true.. if there wernt luck in poker he wud be the king..

[krispyrice1]

i think it is fuckign hilarious how much u stupid americans ride his cock. watch him on the PartyPoker Premier League II and watch him get his ass handed to him by a bunch of amazing european players..

[krispyrice1]

what he wins in tournis he loses in cash games..and his tourni wins lately havent been shit..he is garbage and it is funny when he says that if there werent luck involved he'd win every one..he made so many stupid calls ie vs Adam Levy..he needs to realize that poker is changing and that gay trapping style is so predictable and he is really not that great. his wsop money doesnt even add up to that much so get off his dick people..hesGARBAGE..if there werent luck involved,he'd be BROKE

[AdolfNewton]

WTF are you talking about? You can call him lucky if he won the WSOP just once like jamie gold, but he won it 11 times, that is skills. He also has more money finishes and final table than anyone else, which is again a proof of his talent as a poker player. Phil actually played really well in this tournament; he made very good laydowns and got to top 45 eventhough he was shortstack throughout.

[krispyrice1]

that was a long time ago..he hasnt done shit except like 1 bracelet in the last 4 years.. hasnt won anything big has only ftd wpt once or twice..hes garbage now..that stupid trapping style doesnt work..and if u watched he was whining like a baby throughout this tournament, because people kept outpalying him..and its actully funny to watch him try and tell people what kinds of hands to play..he is a moron as a player and as a person.

[gaud123]

what did he say at 2:04?

[AiRChopsticks]

ok hellmuth might be a big crybaby, acts like a whiny 6 year old kid, and IS the biggest sore loser in WSOP history, but you can't deny that the guy has talent and going by stricly amount of bracelets, he is the best player in the game right now his 11 bracelets and 89 title are a testament to the amount of skill he has in the game

[DubblePoppel]

I am the real Pokerstar

[uhavnoideawhoiam]

there's one thing being arrogant and talentless...

but it's not like he's bullshitting... he's one of the best players i've ever seen..

[BigDawg7900]

Let's be realistic Phil Hellmuth only has one way to collect himself after getting beat in poker and that is by going off like a bottle rocket on the fourth of july. Blowing up actually makes him feel better...aparently but thats the Phil we all know and love.

[jamsomemusic]

nobody loves phil your crazy we all hate him

[Stryke79]

Phil is such a piece of shit, I wonder why he just doesnt realize it. In his world there is just I, I, I, me, me, me, nothing else.

If becoming a poker pro means becoming like him, i wouldnt wanna be it. Not even for 11 bcts and 12 mio bucks.

[Ace5858]

Me monster :-D

[TheDryGin]

WTF he s so full of himself.

Phil want s only players with AA AK AQ KK to play against him.

so it would be easy to play.

Grow up dude. The world changed. Don't be a child. If you can't stand the way people play now...Stop. Maybe some old dude will remember you as a great player.

[camelotnax]

Imagine having Phil as a father, hahaa!

[alex8711]

"I mean your behavior is just so sick, it's just so sick. I've been fathering children for 20 years, and never have I seen such abysmal behavior. If there were no luck in parenting... you'd be a perfect child."

[camelotnax]

Hahaha!!!!

[liquid4000]

It's an act ...

[wowforrealman]

Anyone who catches cards against Phil H. is an idiot and a donkey according to him. Your a bad player if you beat him on a flop also. He expects everyone to play premium hands against him or not even raise him when he plays. Poor sport and asshole are good words to describe him. Constantly bad mouths other players when the cards aren't falling in his favor. I can't stand watching him play.

[camelotnax]

C'mon he's the spice in an otherwise slightly boring setting, personality wise.

Without him and Mike the Mouth WSOP wouldnt be as fun to watch would it?

[itamar969]

if anyone understands anything about psychology, then ud notice by the things he says that hes not very bright! hes been playin poker ALL hes life and if you also know anythin about poker, then ud know poker will fuk you up if you get addicted and play it 24/7! that must be the reason!

[silva17]

you lose money to an addiction and phill has made more money in his poker career than i think 2 generations of your entire family.

[jpsartrean]

"by the things he says that hes not very bright!"

He is a multi-multi millionaire who, I believe, went to Princeton...

Don't you think he deserves just a LITTLE credit people??

[jpsartrean]

Strike that Princeton comment... I don't know where that came from....

Still, I bet his net worth is $20+ million...

[creativenick1]

he's really if not the best, one of the very best, but it's true that there's no need to say it on every interview :D but yea he's funny!

[colvo115]

To all who think Phils arrogance is real, plzz stfu. He entertains, it's an act. Although his frustration is for real at the tables. Phil's a great guy.

[regreensr]

don't be a kiss ass to phil, he needs more suckers like u.

[baddemonic]

his a good player who just hates bad players spoiling a great game and sucking out , the amount of bad players that don't understand the game is amazing , i agree with phil there are a lot of idiots in poker.

[joera1]

hellmuth is soooo unsecure guy, only says that he is the best player:...and hes is not...he is an asshole

[joebandana]

no, he doesn't say he's the best player, he says he is a GOOD player, which he is.

[Sfrog12]

It doesnt matter if you play with someone who goes all in 10 times in a row with jacks or worse.... step YA game up!

[spyreytos]

he is god.

[liammunky]

Hellmuth is the best Tournament player by far....and he's so funny to watch

[tpalvia]

wah wah.

[kolst8406]

"....my heart. I just ripped it out of my chest..." LOL

[regreensr]

Phil always has an excuse for losing, maybe he's just being outplayed. It looks like the crybaby was playing under the rim.

[chernobila]

Phil Hellmuth is not so great player after all. From his braslets most of them he won when it was like 25 people on main event. The main thing is that he does not want to adjust to new game. I mean with new kinds of players. May be he cant may be his stubborn. Either way he is very very far from being best. His tactics is old. he can survive for some time but cant win any more

[RockySeven7]

what the hell are you talking about, he won his 11th bracelet in a 3000 player field. He came in third in the 1500HORSE this year, and did you see how ppl are gunning for him?

Btw, if you say that about Hellmuth, the same counts for Brunson, Chan, Seidel and so many others who also won smaller fields.

Hellmuth has the record of WSOP cashes, most Hold'em tournaments (not just WSOP) ever won by one man, and still people say he ISN'T the best tournament player????? Dude, be objective

[chernobila]

first of all when Brunson loses he is never that angry. You know why? because he understands that sometimes that happends. I didnt say Hellmuth doesnt now how to play. I just said he is not as good as he was. Dont you see man with this many players you got to change way you play? But this guy is stubborn and just beacuse he has big name in poker he becomes very big ASSHOLE. That is not right either. Some day we will see his ass kicked by some player who will not stand him. thats all i m saying

[emmteez]

lol no....he is a great player with a bad attitude nothing else..
