You Can Never Get Your Fill of Phil

The man with the most bracelets is one hell of a poker player and he's not afraid to let you know about it.

Phil Hellmuth limped into a pot UTG, the small blind called and the big blind rapped the table. The flop came {9-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and the small blind made a pot-sized bet. The big blind folded and Phil called.

Both players checked on the turn, {K-Clubs}, and the small blind checked again when the river brought the {A-Spades}. Phil tossed out three light blue 500 chips and his opponent called.

"Pocket queens," Phil said. His opponent took one last look at his cards before throwing them into the muck.

"I knew he had a six, so I value bet... that's why I'm the champ," Phil added after the hand. "If he's bluffing I call, if he has the nine, I fold. That's what I've been doing all day."

Like him or not, he never fails to entertain.
