HSP 4, poor Phil

[Dave B]

27 prop bet (blinds 300/600, if you win w/ 27 you get $500 from each player) was still on. Helmuth raises to 3k (I think) preflop w/ 27 and Quiet (or was it Silent) Mike calls from the blind w/ J10. 3 way action preflop.

Flop Q9x, checked to Phil who bets 6k, one folds, J10 calls.

Turn 10, checked to Phil who bets 18k. Mike goes in the tank, then Phil starts talking. Something like "I know that you have J10, I am making you pay for it now, the river will be cheaper.". Mike looked like he was ready to let it go before the speech, but decides to call.

River rag, checks to Phil who bets $44k instead of the "cheap river" he promised. Mike calls relatively quickly and Phil leaves for a shower (literally gone for over an hour to cool off).



1st hand back Phil straddles for 1200 w/ 23 . Flop has a 2 and 2 diamonds, heads up. Turn diamond, Phil gets all in and loses everything to 65 diamonds. DOH!

He then says "I am $50k behind". A few minutes later after nothing happens he says "Someone lend me $50k, Todd? Someone?". It was subtle, but VERY amusing.

Phil is always fun to watch. The guy says "I mean" like his family will die if he doesn't get it in every other sentence.

Actually its a little embarrassing watching Phil... sort of like the Office.
The guy thinks he is the best thing happen to the human race and everyone else keep laughing at him...

Just watched the episode - Phil Hellmuth has got to stay away from this game! He literally plays every hand incorrectly when he is leading the betting.

Mike Matusow played great in episode 4 apart from when he flopped quads and was HU with Hellmuth by the river before talking Phil out of folding losing himself $30,000
