Where Phil Goes, Controversy Follows

It's never a quiet table if Phil Hellmuth is sitting at it. The table in question in this instance is Brasilia #32. We're not sure what prompted it, but some sort of dispute broke out. Hellmuth, as is his wont, suggested to one of the other players at the table that he should, "Stop f*ckin' complaining."

That player was the bring-in for the hand being played, and refused to bring it in. He called for a floor to come over, wanting a penalty to be given for Hellmuth's F-bomb.

A floor was called over. Hellmuth was adamant that he didn't actually drop an F-bomb. Bryan Micon added his own two cents by pointing at the ESPN cameras that scurried over to the table, suggesting that, "If the cameras were over here in the first place, we could rewind the tapes" to determine exactly what Hellmuth said. He also offered Hellmuth a bet as to whether or not Hellmuth let fly the forbidden profanity.

In the end, Hellmuth was given a warning. The floor supervisor decided that even if Hellmuth did say what was alleged, it wasn't excessive enough to warrant a penalty.

Yet.
