More Helmuth love

[Cactus Jack]

From Tuscaloosa Johnny, one of the better bloggers:

As we played in the second level, Nolan Dalla announced that Phil Hellmuth, who was on the featured ESPN table, had busted and the room was filled with cheers.

...That pushes me down to about 23K and around that time we hear loud applause begin across the room that soon spreads across the pavilion.

“Doyle must have been eliminated,” I said, and soon thereafter a tournament director announces the departure of “Texas Dolly,” who also started us off this day with the line “Shuffle up and deal.”

“The difference between Doyle and Hellmuth,” one player opines, “is that they cheer for Doyle when he busts out because they respect him and they cheer when Hellmuth busts out because they hate him.”

I love Phil Helmuth bad beat stories. He's such a dick.
