Who do You Believe, Phil Hellmuth or ESPN?

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.

Is it perhaps possible that they cut out some of the time spend deliberating so as to make the fold seem quicker than it actually was?

I'd also be extremely interested to know this, because on the show I was astonished that that could be a standard automatic laydown for him. Later when he laid down the flush I ended up believing that the earlier laydown was, in fact, easy for him and was really impressed.

I just love the title of this book. But a book by Hellmuth describing all the bad beats he thinks he's suffered must be at least 10,000 pages long.

I think I've suffered at least one bad beat in every tournament I've ever played in. The ones we all remember most are the ones we're all-in on.

IMHO
