blakheart 3 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 For all you Helmuth haters out there, you might notice that he is at the final table today in the O8b event. Love him or hate him, the man is an incredible tournament player. Link to post Share on other sites

Vatche 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 wasnt he at the 5k omaha final table last year? i think that was the tourny ivey took down...hope he finds a way to win his tenth today. Link to post Share on other sites
sandwedge 30 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I'm not a fan of Phil -- in fact, I generally root against him and love to watch him whine. However, because of his skill and love of bracelets, I chose him as my first pick in the fantasy pool. Link to post Share on other sites
No_Neck 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 He is a great tournament player, I think it only works with big bet poker though. Link to post Share on other sites

freak2304 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 I noticed that cardplayer (which obviously has no validity to it) has him listed as registered for todays PL Omaha tourney. Looks like he's thinking of doing the live multi-tabling today, while one of them is a final table! Should be interesting if he does. Link to post Share on other sites

bampote 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 He gave up on the final table already?Get it?I get it! I was going to make the same joke, but you beat me to it. Good work.And yeah, go Phil. It'd be pretty vindicating for him to win a non-hold'em event, I would think. Link to post Share on other sites
cwik 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 good thing I made sure to leave him off my fantisy team. Link to post Share on other sites
socalpoker_j 1 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Then he will be able to force people on poker programs and at tournaments to introduce him as the 10 time Champion. Link to post Share on other sites
GrinderMJ 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 He is a great tournament player, I think it only works with big bet poker though.What is it? And how is limit o8 big bet poker, am I missing something? Link to post Share on other sites
greatwhite 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 What is it? And how is limit o8 big bet poker, am I missing something?Plus I know he has at least one bracelet in limit hold'em. What is he talking about? Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha1494 0 Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 If you pull up Phil's results on Cardplayer, he has won 5 NLHE WSOP bracelets, 1 PLHE bracelet, and 3 LHE bracelets. He has won a few O8B tournaments, but never at the WSOP. I was shocked to see how many final tables he's actually made in Omaha events (both WSOP and non-WSOP tournaments). I guess he does play a solid Omaha game, but he has never been given credit for it because he's never won an Omaha tourney at the WSOP. Just though some might find that interesting.Alpha Link to post Share on other sites

Since there are far fewer omaha events at the WSOP it is much harder to win one. Plus, while there are plenty of prestigious hold'em tournaments a year, the only prestigious omaha tournaments are at the WSOP. Link to post Share on other sites

I would LOVE to see him win his 10th!Here is me and Phil just last month at the WSOP (notice the date). He set a record in that event, Event #2, with his 50th "in the money" at WSOPs.

He was not "playing" right at that moment. Nor was I playing at his table, or even in that event. Link to post Share on other sites

Love him or hate him, the man is an incredible tournament player.I was at the event and Phil showed up late as usual. He showed up 2 minutes before the 1st level ended. He said that he was scheduled for the Limit event that started at 12 noon, but woke up late so he missed it and played in the 08b. Link to post Share on other sites
