Why is Helmuth Bald?

#1 05-25-2002, 01:48 AM

I don't get it.

I follow and play poker. I've been very updated on the WSOP.

But somehow, I have completely missed the boat (i.e. still just have two pair) as to why Helmuth must be shaved bald. I'm guessing his mouth got himself into trouble, but that is merely speculation on my behalf.

Can anybody fill me in? I don't know why I care, but I do...

weird.

Hi Josh.

The winner was Robert Varkonyi - the same man who beat Phil hellmuth with queen-ten against Hellmuth's Ace-King. At that point Hellmuth was among the chipleaders.......

Phil after being knock out of the tournement said that if Robert was to win the tourney, he would shave all his hair off (and so he did).......And Robert took the first hack with the razor!!

BTW, Guess what Robert final hand was? Of course queen-ten, what else? It made him a full-house on the river to beat Julians Flush (also on the river)

My response has no negative intentions just a hello to an old friend.

Do I know you? That's a line usually meant aggressively, but I'm hugely curious...do I know you?

If your name is Josh, well, I'm thoroughly confused...or forgetful.

I got slightly inebriated earlier tonite. Maybe this post doesn't even exist....

Feel free to fill me in, please...
