Interesting how they chose to show chan and hellmuth fighting over a dealer infraction but neglect to mention the shulman blowup.

Also no mention of bad chip counts.

I thought it was funny how they went on and on about the "million dollars" kathy "won" (including a sound bite of her) with no mention of the deal made. Particularly funny when the 2nd place guy was shown being very ectastic about "winning 80k".

It was worth it for the hellmuth swimming scene though..

I watched it last night also. Hellmuth is such a freckin' cry baby. It's so pathetic. It was absolutely driving him nuts that an 'amatuer' player was kicking his ass all over the place and knocked him out 3rd. They cut to him and he's bitching and moaning about how lucky the guy is and how he's watching him and he's gonna catch him and bust him out, bleh, bleh, bleh. It was really pathetic watching him. My 4 year old nephew behaves better than that.

I taped the 'Inside the WSOP', but didn't get to watch it because I was wiped out from a poker trip this weekend - which I'm about to create a new topic on - it was BRUTAL! /forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

I watched it last night, but posted my "Hellmuth sucks" comments under the no limit forum.

"What was the Shulman blowup?"A card player lost his composure in a million dollar tournament. Players lose their composure everyday but his name was Shulman so people cried foul. No cameras were in the room at the time though.Good LuckHoward

What was the deal they cut? It made me ill to see some of the hands she "won" with at the final table (including her King-high hopeless bluff that sucked out on QQ).

The Hellmuth moaning and the Chan-Hellmuth dispute really put poker players in a bad light, which was very disappointing. Of all the poker tournament shows I've seen on TV, this was clearly the worst of them, IMHO.

Just wondering if anyone had a link or knowledge about when or if this is being re-broadcast?

And what about faulty chip counts?

"It was worth it for the hellmuth swimming scene though.."

it wouldve been if he had broken his neck diving into one of those rocks. otherwise it was unbearable having to look at his pale grotesque body.

i just dont understand phil. IF you beat him with legitimate hands you are lucky and if you suck out on him your lucky. He had no read on the amateur. If he did he would have learn that he was not raising phils blinds with illegitimate hands. Tough to trap a guy who is raising with monsters.

I thought the WSOP broadcast was vastly more interesting, even though I'd seen it twice already.

I wish they'd show 2000 again. It was on a few weeks ago but my TV cut out near the end.
