Hellmuth and Me at the WSOP
« on: October 18, 2005, 05:27:05 PM »
I played in seven WSOP events this year, including the Main Event.  
Guess who was the only pro to give me a problem.....yep, Hellmuth.  
I was short stacked, in early position and made my move with an A6 suited all-in.  Before the next guy could act, Hellmuth says, "Dealer, are you going to let him get away with that?"  The dealer didn't see anything and looked quizzical.  Hellmuth says, "He made a string bet!".  The dealer didn't see it because I didn't make one.  Hellmuth calls the floor person over, stops the game, and proceeds to say that I made a string bet.  The floor asks the dealer, but he just didn't see it.  Hellmuth continued prodding the pro next to him, to confirm the string bet. The other pro really didn’t have much to say as he wasn’t sure what he saw.
Then I finally spoke.  I said, "As I moved in my chips, one of my hole cards stuck to my palm and turned over.  I quickly covered it up, and continued pushing in my chips.  I don't know what he saw....but that's what happened.  
Hellmuth then says, "Hey, I don't know, I'm over here listening to my ipod.  I'm not even in the hand".  
I felt like saying more but bit my tongue.  I don't know if he was just playing a game on me, or if he is a real jerk.

He can be a jerk sometimes. He is really against all the new online players showing up to the events. A lot of the pros don't like it because it brings in a different style of players. The really good players don't mind just more money for them.

Haha, Hellmuth is great.  That's why I picked to play against him on the poll.

What I want to know is how you did in those events?

Did you place in the money?

If you did well in any of them then lets hear about it in the "Bragg it up" section.  :)  8)


And congrads on putting Phil in his place! (assuming you got the right decision from the floor)

How did I do in the events?
Gulp!....uh, hmmmmm, uh, I'm sorry to say that I came home with no money.  The closest I came was two out of the money.  I wanted to kill myself.  Not really.  But I did go back to my hotel room steaming!
