Johnny Chan going for 10th bracelet, Hellmuth contemplating suicide

I'd go even further than that. I doubt that he would have posted it with the same wording if Phil H wasn't tied for second.

I'll go you one better, and say that I would bet good money that the only reason for this post was indeed the fact that Hellmuth has nine.

Not to say that Phillips is not impressed by Chan's feat (who wouldn't be?); just that the entire blog entry was essentially a dig at Hellmuth. Also, I don't think it was intended to be mean spirited, just more of the relatively good-natured back and forth.

I do not intend to be overly presumptuous, it's just how I read the entire situation.

I don't think everyone else is an also ran with only 9 or 8 or 7 bracelets. There really is not much of a gap frankly and it is clearly a dig at Hellmuth.

I have to admit, if Phil ever wins a couple and vaults back into the lead, he's gonna sound a little silly bragging about it:

"Eleven bracelets. That's right--eleven. The only player in the world with eleven. ELEVEN!!!......I have eleven!

Just doesn't have the same ring to it as 10.

At least I get to ride a surfboard, apparently.

Is it just me or does Paul seem very angry lately. "bucket of cocks" "captain obvious" etc. Go back on vacation Paul. You have been replaced by better poker players - Jen Tilley, Liz Lieu, the dude who had a three minute 7 stud lesson, and that ex tennis guy. (just kidding)

actually, although this is gonna sound like a giant fellatio post, i enjoy the fact that paul phillips looked around for a funny image and posted it up and everything, i didn't even notice it was paul philips. i thought it was a random ZOO poster.

it's not like he posted "i've got lots of money, you don't." he only attacked the guys ineptness at obviousness.

Good point- I had to scroll back up to realize it was Paul.

He may be a little cranky these days- having a new baby does bad things to sleep patterns, or so I have been told.
