Default Re: Who do You Believe, Phil Hellmuth or ESPN?

What Phil's kicker was is meaningless in this hand as he flopped top pair, good kicker with the King. I just point out this hand to add to the theory that ESPN's hands aren't always 100% accurate, especially away from the feature table.

I know from multiple first-hand experiences that phil's recollections of hands aren't always correct. No way to know who to believe on this one; it's like flipping between networks searching for the least biased evening news.

One hand in this years main event that I am really curious on was between Marcel Luske and Josh Arieh. I don't remember the hand details, but Luske made a set of Aces on the river and showed them. The part that made me scratch my head was Arieh supposedly had 2 pair, and folded immediatley when Luske bet the river ace.

That hand has all the earmarks of having been falsified. Josh folded way too quickly to a relatively small bet. In fact that's the only hand I remember from the 2004 WSOP that instantly felt wrong to me, so at least they're moving in the right direction.
