Default Do pros dis like Hellmuth

"With the board showing 9d-5s-3h, Phil Ivey bets $11,000. The only other player in the hand is Phil Hellmuth. Hellmuth takes more than a few minutes to think, before asking how much Ivey has left. Ivey places his chips in plain sight, but doesn't count them. "If he won't count them, someone else do it," says Hellmuth. The dealer begins counting Ivey's chips, but as he's about to finish, Doyle Brunson asks whether or not it's allowable to have an exact count done in pot-limit. Tournament Director Johnny Grooms rules that is not, but the count is already finished. Hellmuth then deliberates for another 2-3 minutes before Surinder Sunar calls for time. Johnny Grooms doesn't get very far in the count before Hellmuth reraises all-in. Hellmuth shows pocket Kings, while Ivey shows pocket Aces. The turn is the 5c and the river the 10h. Hellmuth doubles up Ivey and is left with only $35,000 in chips. Ivey's stack is rounding out near $100,000."

Why elsa would Ivey not count his chips, and why would Doyle complian about it. I am actully surprise more pros dont tell Phil where to go.
