Hellmuth cracks me up sometimes

Yes, I admit I follow him on Twitter, along with a number of other poker notables.

At 7am I was having trouble breathing out of my nose, got dressed thinking of hitting hospital, called wifey who determined I could breathe well out of my mouth, so took Nyquil and went back to bed!

Laughing too. Just wondering, on Thursday June 30 at ~11:00 PM ET, about how he posted this tomorrow?!

I noticed that too. And puzzled. Then I read the tweet and laughed pretty hard. Sounds like something my wife would say.

Well duh, he's Phil Freakin' Hellmuth, Greatest Poker Player That Ever Lived(TM) and obviously able to bend time to his will.

Classic one liner, though Phill does occasinally talk out of his other orifice.

Yeah, that's kinda what I figured. So. How's the old boy holding up during this wsop? Has his work with Sam Chauhan paid off, transforming him into a calm pond of a player? Or is he up to his usual antics?

Not sure, I haven't watched him at all yet, but I doubt it's changed much. He was tweet whining up a storm yesterday about a knockout beat he took with 333 < A9s after the chips went in on a 9-high flop, bitching about how the horrible amateur was a 3.4% dog or something or other. I'd love to have seen his reaction at the table.

OH MY GOD!! Horrible amateur puts $50,000 in pot w A-9 on 9d-4s-3c flop vs my 3-3!!!! Young pro snap folded 10-10 as we raised and reraised.

9-4-3, we put in 50k apiece (only guy that had me covered), flipped hands up and it came 9, then 4!!!!!!! He had worlds easiest fold...

I bet 2k flop 10-10 called, A-9 ck raised to 7k, I made 12k thinking I might fold my set if pro moved, pro snap folded 10-10 + A-9 moved in!

Funny: pro + I "on guard" looking for reasons to fold over pair + set, + horrible player piles it in w top pair! Was I 15 to 1 fav on flop?

Went to CardPlayer.com to run math: A-9 had 3.4% chance to beat me... Done w it now, time to rest up, gather my strength, and WIN #12!!

And the other day he mentioned something about being in tears after another knockout, something "he never does." I'm thinking yeah, do you not remember the fetal position thing at the WPT event last year? LOL.

All that said, I hear he's running pretty well this year, going deep a few times already. It looked he was poised to take down #12 bracelet a few days ago before losing HU.
