Paul Phillips antics on WPT - Legends of Poker

[steeser]

Relax.

I cannot believe how seriously some of you take this stuff...a HUGE part of poker is interpersonal interaction.....I feel so bad for you if you do get lucky enough to make one of these final tables and have to face a talkative guy like Men Nguyen.

PP's stunt was in good fun, with a guy he seems to know. BFD!

[djoyce003]

actually read about this on his blog. He had the book in the audience and one of the WPT crew told him to go up there. He said he wasn't thinking about the cameras or he wouldn't have done it. Lee Watkinson is a friend of his, and actually apologized to him later for not going along with the joke, because that is what it was...a joke. Bad timing though....there was a lot of money at stake, but Lee was quoted as saying it didn't bother him or affect his play at all...so fair enough i guess.

I think the only opinion that matters is that of Lee Watkinson. I don't know how he feels about it, but if he doesn't care, why should anybody else?

[Beavis68]

It was cheesy and his timing was horrible, Lee was still trying to count out all the chips he lost. But compared to others antics, this was nothing - LET IT GO.

Best graphic I've seen in a long time.

These posts always make me wonder the same thing:

Do any of you guys have any immediate plans to have those sticks surgically removed from your backsides?

[jah0550]

a) You are an idiot.
b) How would you feel if you just lost $1,000,000 pot to a legend of poker?
c) You are an idiot.

[toots]

So, I guess the answer would be, "no," that you have absolutely no plans to have the stick removed from your arse?

As I suspected.

Bad. Fortunately it was only a 1M chip pot.

I'd also feel a little worse losing to a non-legend of poker.
