Default Hellmuth at main event

I was watching the televised 2005 Main Event last night, the part where Phil Hellmuth ends up getting eliminated.
I have to admit I was nothing but disgusted by his rude display of bad manners to the players around him. Some guy donked out on him by going all in with K, J against Hellmuth's A, K, and then catching a J on the river. Hellmuth called him "the worst player I've ever seen", etc etc. I really didn't notice if the guy had good pot odds to call Hellmuth's raise (the guy had raised first) - nonetheless, "that's poker". I'm not saying it's not frustrating to get beaten by players who are not "palying by the rules", but even the pros mix it up sometimes and are unpredictable and get lucky. I thought it was especially rude coming from someone who has been so successful -
