Anyone watch the U.S Poker Championship?

Watched the U.S poker championship last night....

Phil Helmuth, like him or not, is a great poker player.

He played a great game last night, called a guy's bluff, and STILL gets outdrawn and loses all his chips!! I really felt for the guy on that one....
Is it just me or does Helmuth seem to get the bad beat alot! He is the John McEnroe of poker, but man can that guy play.

I'm in the poker mood today. Think I'll play a pokerstars NL hold em freeroll this afternoon. Very boring day at work today if you can't tell.

I never feel bad for Helmuth when he loses. He is an asscake.

Last night was his best performance....

The board showed Q 9 7. Phil had Queens. His opponent had 7's. His opponent went all in, and Phil caught him and called. His opponent caught a 7 on the river. You'd think a dead skunk was on the table, phil turned his head away so quickly, and proceded to walk over next to the end of the set and lay down on the ground with his hands over his head. He is such a sore loser. Almost funnier than the time he lost to the magician on WPT (forgot his name) and told the guy " Show some class and shake my hand."

I love watching Helmuth lose. It's hysterical.

i have to say that anyone that gives themself the nickname 'john mcenroe of poker' is a douche bag
