"I like the Sixes," said Devilfish.Turn:
"Sick," said Devilfish.River:
And Kleijner calmly left the tournament area, the final wise words of Ulliott ringing in his ears: "This No Limit Hold'em is a good game for monkeys."
Table Talk: The Hellmuth Chronicles, Vol. I
. Hellmuth bet 13,000 and Bonyadi announced, "All in."Hellmuth tanked for a few minutes, and carefully studied Bonyadi. He was doing his ensconced Hellmuthian mind meld as he peeked into Bonyadi's soul. Hellmuth didn't like what he saw and folded.
"I think I folded the best hand there," Hellmuth barked across the table.
"Of course, Phil," answered Bonyadi. "You always fold the best hand."
"Today, I'll bust you," continued Hellmuth. "I won't even have to try. You'll just give me your chips. I'll make you a promise, buddy, that I'll get you."
Table of Doom: 18 WSOP Bracelets
Seat 2: Humberto Brenes (2 bracelets)
Seat 3: Phil Hellmuth (11 bracelets)
Seat 7: Farzad Bonyadi (3 bracelets)
Seat 8: Marco Traniello (0 bracelets)
Although Marco Traniello doesn't have any bracelets, he's married to a two-time WSOP bracelet winner (Jen Harman). Technically, he has joint-custody of two bracelets.
Don't You Just Hate It When...
Well, that's what just happened during Sherkhan Farnood's exit, the Dubai Banker and Omaha finalist pushing all-in with
and being looked up by Joe Serock's 
."I think I folded A-9," announces Annie Duke uninvited.
This doesn't do too much for Joe's optimism. Farnood, on the other hand, is understandably elated, and moves along to the next seat to ask Paul Wasicka if he folded an Ace. No response.
But, even with only an alleged two Aces remaining in the deck, one just happened to pop out on the
flop, Farnood's joy quickly turning to chagrin and disappointment.At this point, Thierry Van Der Berg thought he'd add salt to wounds by adding, "Hey, I think I folded a Queen."
Great!
Turn =
, River = 
and Farnood's done.
Oscar-Winning Performance
Thanks to Gary Jones for this information. I have now given him my notepad and pen and am heading off home in search of another job. :-(
Freaky Wednesday
"You wanna shoot but you have no ammunition in your gun," Phil berates. "How can you shoot without ammunition?"
In the meantime, Jelassi just ignores him, and it's as if they have swapped bodies like in the film 'Freaky Friday' with Hellmuth possessing the mind of a player barely out of his teens and Jelassi the one nearing his fifties.
"Stand up, kid, and stick some bullets in your gun." he adds. "I'm running over the table here."
John Ridge Cracks the Ace-Magnets
to knock out all-in (with ) John Ridge, the flop brought one Ace and the turn another. A dent in his chip stack representing a lifeline for Ridge.
Table Talk: The Hellmuth Chronicles, Vol. II
"I admit when I make mistakes," said Hellmuth during his lecture. "I'm a man. A real man. You violated etiquette at least three times. Even Jesus said something about what you did."
After Jelassi lost a pot, Hellmuth continued his verbal diarrhea.
"If you want to shoot, son, you have to have bullets," explained Hellmuth as he made a shooting motion with his fingers. "Your gun is empty. You can't win without bullets."
Hellmuth failed to mention to Jelassi that the 11-time bracelet winner was bulletproof.
