HubDub04 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Phil Hellmuth is playing the best poker of his career bar none. I have been following the action since day two and there hasn't been one time that PH has gotten his money in with the worst hand. That is a huge accomplishment in a 5-6 day tournament. He is reading people phenominally and imo he will take this down. He has won everything else in poker except for a WPT or EPT title. This will be his first WPT victory. Mark my words.

Waffles2003 1 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 o rly?Hand #72: Quinn Do has the button in seat 4, Ivey raises under the gun to 190,000, and Hellmuth asks for a count from the big blind. Ivey doesn't move a muscle, and Hellmuth says, "This time I'll at least call you. Hellmuth calls.The flop comes Q102, Ivey bets 250,000, and Hellmuth calls, and immediately checks in the dark. The turn card is the 10, and Ivey checks behind him. The river card is the K, Hellmuth checks, and Ivey bets 500,000. Hellmuth smacks his hands together, saying, "Come on, man. What is this B.S.?" (And yes, he said the initials, not the words.)Hellmuth calls, and Ivey shows AA for two pair, aces and tens. Hellmuth mucks, and he is down to 2.85 million. Phil Ivey passes him on this hand, now up to 2.9 million. Link to post Share on other sites

He still has almost 3 million in chips.Scotty, you wanna bet $25 shipped on Stars that he takes it down?I would take the other side of that only because Phil Ivey is going to be on the final table with a huge stack. But I don't even have 25 cents on ps so I can't really take the bet. Link to post Share on other sites

HubDub04 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hand #83: Charles Moore has the button in seat 9, Hellmuth raises from middle position to 190,000, Moore reraises from the button to 640,000, and Hellmuth moves all in. Moore has about 1.1 million left behind, and he folds. Hellmuth shows AK, and Moore says he folded pocket tens. Phil Hellmuth takes the pot. Link to post Share on other sites

They are both dangerous with chips. I wouldn't be surprised if it came down to PH and PI for the title, now that would be classic. Link to post Share on other sites

NickZepp 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'm not disagreeing with you on Hellmuth. He's just an incredible tournament player. Consistently he's the best tournament player ever in poker probably. The WSOP cashes say it all right there. Those are the biggest fields in the world the last 3 years and he's he is cashing every tournament he enters it seems. He's a great, great player. But at a final table if he and Ivey are at it Ivey is the favorite if he's anywhere near the chip lead I'll take Ivey. And Ivey has been near the top since day 1 I think. He's dominated this tournament and is on his game. Link to post Share on other sites

HubDub04 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'll bet 500 even money on stars if you want.Sorry didn't even see this until now. I would be willing to book really any wager but $500 with no odds is a total sucker bet. A $25 EM bet is like playing for peanuts imo.You give me odds i'll think about it though.

NickZepp 0 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I'll take that $25 bet now lolHand #96: Phil Ivey has the button in seat 8, Hellmuth raises from the cutoff to 240,000, Ivey reraises from the button to 640,000, Hellmuth moves all in, and Ivey calls with AcAd. Hellmuth is dominated with AhKh.The board comes 10d5c3s10hJh, and Ivey's aces hold up to win the pot, doubling his stack to about 5.6 million. Recent chipleader Hellmuth drops all the way down to 1.2 million. Link to post Share on other sites
