Hellmuth has taken the lead he now has 70k to Daniel's 30k. Philly boy is number one, kept telling Daniel he was going to comeback. He kept limp folding his button and never 3betting from the big blind. White magic!

It honestly hasn't been anything crazy. Phil has just stuck to his game.

Well if you say so then I believe it I guess, just hard to imagine a 98k to 2k lead lost just due to 'standard play'

What don't you understand? This is Phil Hellmuth we're talking about here. He's won 35 of his last 36 heads up matches and the 1 loss was insane bad luck. He knows white magic. If Daniel was down so much he would need some special run of cards to get back in the match. But Phil Hellmuth knows white magic, he limps 100% from the button and then folds to a raise like 90% of the time. You can't teach that. In fact every poker coach alive will tell you not to play like that, but Phil Hellmuth is a virtuoso, a Beethoven of the poker felt.

i’m convinced Phil runs the sickest bluffs ever in private games because he’s the nittiest player i’ve ever seen on TV. it has to be a ruse it just can’t be real

The idea is to win, not play perfect poker...have no idea how Phil came back from that huge deficit, but he did.

Negreanu has not played well at all when the stacks got shorter. My guess is he was coached to reduce the variance and took it to way too far an extreme. But this has been insane card distribution for a few hours now.
