Place Name Chips
1 Phil Hellmuth Jr. 1,475,000
2 Juha Helppi 530,000
3 Daryn Firicano 425,000

Can he tie Brunson and Chan?
Anybody care if he does?

If he doesn't, I can't wait for the TV coverage of Phil taking a SNAP losing that lead.

    i've been keeping tabs on the whole final table. what a domination by phil. He has had almost a 2/1 lead over 2nd place the whole time.

    he has already made heads up once this year at the wsop with a HUGE lead and blown it, but he surely seems to be on his game. i think the bracelet is his.

    i WANT Phil to win, cause i think he deserves it. he is an amazing player.

    GO PHIL!!!

    Wow. Number 10 for Phil. Good Show.

    I think he'll win another one this year to take the lead.

    War Hellmuth! 1 of the all-time greats IMO

    I also was following this the past few days.
    Hellmuth may win the main event too.
    I am owning the fantasy poker competition with his win, Phil should have at least locked up a 'cash' for me.
    Thank you Phil !

    If phil takes down the main event his ego will balooon up 3 x as much as it is. I don't think he can take the suck outs which will happen to him in the ME. Watching him looose it last year was funny. It's like "I'm phil helmuth dude, don't you know your losing and supposed to fold and NOT suck out on me."

    That being said he is a good player, just not a good loser or a gracious winner.

    Phil had a pretty poor showing there too. I hope he takes all this cash back to HSP...

    I think the difference is that everyone in poker knows that Mike is a losing player overall, but Phil does so well with his media spinning that players/people actually think he's a money winner
  • adammcadammc
    Juha Helppi gave that to him, he stacked himself with ATo to KK, which is kind of sad, he must have been pretty bored/tired for that shit to happen.

    Phil gets no respect from anyone does he.

    He's the Detroit Tigers of Poker. Doesn't matter what he wins, or how often, he's always a fluke.

    Well, the tigers are for real, and maybe Phil is too.

    Three final tables in a couple of weeks is no small feat.

    Cheers

    I totally give Phil a ton of respect when watching him play. He makes some great moves. He tends to lose respect he whines when he gets beat.
