Hellmuth turned to Spiderman and said "Did you flop a set on me?" before betting 15,000. Spiderman immediately moved all in and Hellmuth started into one of his classic rants. "You go crazy with two fives? I haven't bet this much in this tournament in a single hand yet!" Hellmuth counted out his chips, shook his head and asked Spiderman "What do you have? Did you really go crazy? A-Q suited?" At this point, the player in the 4 seat called the clock on Hellmuth. The Poker Brat predictably went into a tirade. "How long have I taken? That's not right!

Re: Wsop 2007 So, is there a sliding scale of penalties for ripping up cards? 27 hands for the Queen of Hearts - say, 12 hands for the 3 of clubs, but 50 hands for the Ace of Spades? Good to see Hellmuth losing it - he truly is the unluckiest player in the world. To paraphrase the Poker Brat - "If luck wasn't involved, he'd win every time he played" :loon

Re: Wsop 2007 You should see his blog. This is what he wrote: I have decided that I will not write any more bad beats stories here. I am the best tournament Hold'em player in the world, and I do not think that anyone disputes this right now. So you can assume that I will have the best hand in the big pots over 80% of the time, that's just how I roll. No more bad beat stories this month.
