THE SUMMER OF GEORGE!

 

I'd love to see a heads up final table with Phil Ivey and George Costanza. That'd be epic.

 

Phil Hellmuth there would be pretty hilarious too. The exasperated sighs as George hits lucky break after lucky break and ends up eliminating Phil on a 9/3 off-suit would be funny.

 

"exasperated sighs"? I think we'd hear the nuclear meltdown from Hellmuth's hissy fit in here in Portland.

 

I think it would start with exasperated sighs at the beginning. But you are right we would hear the nuclear meltdown up here.

 

Yeah, Hellmuth would great for entertainment purposes. Some people hate him so much... but I love seeing him meltdown. I'd like to see Ivey though win it all.. the guy hasn't won the big one yet.

 

Rooting for Phil Ivey. I love the WSOP ME.

 

I'm with Main on rooting for Ivey. But I'd probably pay money to see Phil Helmuth and Mike the Mouth sit at another table together. Just awesome to watch those two argue and fight.

 

I met Phil Helmuth at the Nissan Open in LA...It was wierd, he had his "PH" hat, his glasses, and headphones...like he was at a poker table...that dude loves to stroke his ego

 

Yeah.. the dude's ego is way out of control. Did you actually meet him, or did he walk by you and you said 'Hey, there's Phil Hellmuth!" haha..

 

met him...had him sign a golfball...lol

 

What are the chip counts now? Or does anyone have a link to a chip count page?
