on the first hand phil hellmuth is involved in, the announcer's first tidbit of info about him is "Phil writes children's books in his spare time"

WTF?

insert obvious "play poker like the pros" joke here.

does this leave any doubt that Phil is really freaking gay?

i wouldnt go so far as to question his sexuality, but it surprised the hell out of me. the children's author is a side of phil i've never fathomed.

watching that last hand play out in real time vs johnny chan, it occured to me how close the phil we know was to be completely different...

he had 99 vs a7s on a KTKQ board... river ended up being a 6 tho

if johnny chan doubles through phil there and wins it all later, just imagine how different things would be today...

I hate to wave the Phil flag, but thats not really fair. He has done a lot more than just win that one.

It's true - my personal favorite is "Clifford the Big Red 3-to-1 Dog".
