Phil Hellmuth 2003 WSOP Main Event Antics! 

its true tho

@@timarschmalz1229 breathes in* “there’s no way they’ll ever call me with Q10 off suit” breathes out *

He has to be trolling.

you can see the cancer in his nose mole

@@joemac999 🤮

I doubt he is working on that

He is working on to berate people more

Dude I think he just has adhd or aspergers cuz he seems like a great guy when hes not tilted

19 and counting

Phil is awesome. I love him. He only freaks out on TV. When there are no cameras, he is much better.

Montage

@@-dopeamine-5772 your a montangue

Hahaha I laughed watching it

the electric toothbrush

the roll of toilet paper on the bed stand

dude since you said that dont you think his whole michael jordan speech in the beginning of the video is very michael scott-esce? i wonder if steve carell watched phil on tv before doing the office.

lol

Bingo

Couldnt be more accurate

You’ll never be John McIntyre don’t insult him you’re just a poker fleet😊

apparently in real life he is the nicest guy ever thats why all the pros let him get away with his table antics because they know the real phil has a heart of gold

He's a passive narcissist. Can't be cured unfortunately. They make lousy friends because everything is your fault.

@@James-gk8ipI see it in poker, but i don’t see it otherwise. He honestly seems decent

He's a complete loud, insecure jagoff.

​@@James-gk8ipdnegs is low key a narcissist

I don't love him at all. I hate his guts. And I love to see him lose his chips and then lose his mind.

@@renoraider9817seek medical help.

@@renoraider9817someone seems envious

Absolutely spot on

Like a true villain you love to see him lose so basically you're saying you love watching him

It was. Alot better than now tbh.

Well, before GTO, hand solvers, range advantage, blockers and tons of poker coaching. Bring back the old days of just..... live reads (and bad reads) and outs (I had a lot of OUTS....lol) !!!! Lot of action.

A better world, a better Poker place!!!

jesus that Trip Jacks fold hurt me

@@rylan3276 I would say read some more comments here about that hand, watch again and make up your own mind!

Phil "Zen" Hellmuth

Just imagine him without all of that calmness and self control.

Different game back then. No one 3b bluffed

@@2blacknines good point

Easy to say when its not you in the WSOP Main event and the nittiest player wants your tournament life,Anyway he min raised so he is obviously bad what do you mean i cant believe that guy folded?

If I recall correctly, there was quite a bit of drama after this aired over ESPN editing this hand, fabricating it to create more action. You can see when they show the 10J in Tony's hand he has a stack of chips in his right hand and the cards in his left, the very next fold frame he isn't holding any chips and the cards have switched hands. I think the general consensus between the editing and the improbable fold was that this hand never happened.

@@kevinc5533 not to mention the dealer is passing out cards at 10:43 too lol. Figured something was off about that hand

Great in terms of great tv and entertainment not in terms of play, some people in the micros nowadays play better than this

Surprised to see you here.

Poker strategy is better now, but Poker isn’t great now, it would never make TV, it’s full of internet introverts that make it boring to watch, before Black Friday, everyone was a personality, now it’s painful to watch.

The best of the best outside Jamie Golds fluke win. I've never seen anyone never get out drawn or take a bad beat, get flushes, have the nuts every hand or top pair off the flop every time. It only took him 2 months to blow all 4.5 million on high stakes poker late night.

There's nothing great about poker now unless you consider endless tables full of anti - social, hoodie wearing, spectrum dwelling virgins that nobody wants to play with- let alone watch- "great".

lmao i can only imagine

lol

I guess the D means Dumb cause that was a wack ass fold

Tony G has a lot more of HP and DPS, the monsters even added taunts and clock calling, insane

What a garbage fold too lmao

I think less of you for it.

Love him or hate him. The guy don’t have 15 bracelets by luck.

Yes. If you love spoiled rotten hypocrite bully crybabies. Then Phil is the man.

@@joed2818 Baaahahaha so true...

@@nuclear9977 Your right

bad cameras, not so bad that it is obvious. tbf a lot of people started dressing like its 2003 already

2002 here. This era was great I wish I was watching live back in the day

And we all know we need a Phil Hellmuth biopic starring Will Ferrell. With Olek Krupa as Tony G and Edward Norton as Daniel Negreanu.

@@Lark1610 And Scotty Nguyen plays himself, baby...

Except that my retinas will probably never recover.

​@@davet2459No one can play da Prince of Poker, baby.

Will Ferrell is wayyy to charismatic

@@corywilson2007 So is Phil. Charismatic doesn't have to mean friendly. He is either loved or despised but his fans are devoted to him.

@@davet2459 doesn't have the pitch voice tho

Tim Heidecker is literally him, and I suspect some of his characters have Phil as an inspiration.

Yeah! That was pretty disgusting. If I looked like that shirtless I sure as heck wouldn't broadcast it to the world.

i mean he just looks like a normal guy there? you seem insecure@@renoraider9817

I cant imagine anyone anydays laying down those three jacks.

That's because it was a horrific fold and a terrible play

Yeah, nearly as good as the play from Sammy as he just called the river with his jacks as he made a full house.

It was a terrible move back then too....

That's because it's a tournament, I will snap call in cash game

I can’t believe this footage exists😂

the whole video is from 2003

I couldn’t believe it either.

Sadly he passed away

That's because he's a jack off

Couldn't afford tissue paper back in 2003!

Jerks off or does blow lol

"Keep them big chips where i can see em" 🤣

Somewhere there is a clip dedicated to Sam winning pot after pot from Phil. Sam really knows how to dig in to Phil.

I’m SO GLAD they showed his parents. Yes he’s the “poker brat” … but he’s also a kid whose parents showed up to cheer on their son. I genuinely loved that part.

The hug with mom is special

it was fake. see one of the other comments for clarification

I’d rather play Hold’em

Look at 10:44 - you can see the dealer is still dealing cards when he decides to fold. Fabricated hand unfortunately

@@YaNeverLearn good catch. Bad editing maybe?

@@Chalky29 yea, plenty of logical explanations aside from being fake. Pretty sure dudes chips were blocking the hole cam after hand was dealt, so they used initial footage of him looking.

Until he died a few months ago...

Hahaha. Nit. I haven't heard someone called that in a long time.

lol

This hand tilted me so bad

that ending gave me a whole new dimension of respect for Phil, that's the face of someone who is so passionate about his dream, that can´t bear the tears when seeing it end

Good catch.

Wow nice catch! He also has chips in his hand only in the hole card cam!

This is so depressing to consider ESPN would do this, but I always thought it was a weird fold.

wow you’re right. that is quite eye-opening. makes you question the integrity of their broadcast

Great catch, it's almost certainly fake. Where were you when Postle was robbing all those people?

For all the shit that rolls out of his annoying mouth

I agree it was a terrible fold... I guess Tony D thought he was out kicked

i came to the comments hoping somone else said something about this play, hardly anything else would beat him. insane

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I have a lot of respect for Phil despite his antics. I was bullied for years at school, and as an adult I have always felt this need to prove to others that I am something. Whenever I get insulted even if it is just banter by a friend, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. I always feel like I have to win to feel relevant around people. When it doesn't happen, I can cope with losing. But in poker where you lose to complete stupidity, that is really really hard to take. I do think Phil tries his best to curb his behaviour but cannot help himself. It's very difficult to not be proud of yourself when you probably didn't feel much love growing, but then become one of the greatest at something.

I think he had to call like 2k into a pot of 15k or so.

RIP Sam. He sadly passed away recently.

He's more mad that he called Phil's re raise pre flop with KJ to even see the flop to hit the K

A product of their bad editing in the day. Sam had 2100 not 21000 and Phil moved in blind pre after Sam called the raise

He doesn’t at all get wrecked today what are you talking about... didn’t he beat Esfandiari 3 for 3 in High Stakes Duel?

Holy shit that hand tilted me

@@noahkalus8231 sample size in those duels is literally meaningless, unfortunately

@@paulhiggins140 I mean it’s like 800-1000ish hands that’s not meaningless.

@@paulhiggins140 it was like 10 hours cumulative of poker. But he’s going up against dwan, Negreanu or Ivey next so we’ll see what happens

He's the best lolcow online

I can't even play poker but I love watching Phil as he is so entertaining with his cussing/ antics

​@@punanny123 yeahp

I think he very rarely says negative things to anyone if they dont play stupid

That jj vs qq he got unlucky but what can he get mad at its just 1 hand all the times hes complained about luck its been multiple bad beats in a row

Loved watching his antics ! Especially against Helmuth....

"Jacks are a MONSTER compared to the crap you play!"

Especially the part in the montage where he says that he's not negative. That one cracked me up, lol, talking about not being negative and a few minutes (and a few hands) later, he becomes the living embodiment of negativity.

This is what people like you don’t get. You say the quality of players was really bad, so it wasn’t hard to be good. Well where did you learn to be a good player back then? Was there a plethora of educational material easily accessible online? Were there good quality books in stores and libraries? I believe there was Doyle Brunson’s book published in the 70s and that was about it. You are standing on the shoulders of giants. The quality of play gets incrementally better because we get access to the knowledge of the players who came before us. To call Phil Hellmuth an average player after he has won 15 WSOP bracelets over 4 decades, made 64 WSOP final tables, and has over 24 million dollars in tournament prize money is ridiculous. Average players don’t win consistently.

I’ve been on hefty doses of acid that were less trippy than that whole segment
