wow this is so awesome

The "slowroll" by Phil is sort of rude but not exactly a huge sin. Correct play by him after getting flack should be to quickly apologize and just say that he wasn't trying to slowroll and just wanted to be 100% sure that the money went in.

Him ignoring it and getting all defensive about it just makes him look even worse.

I am watching this at work and let me tell you it was not easy holding in a laugh. Especially when the loose cannon did his little strut dance celebration. This is an epic hand. Reminds me of Andrew Robl running it 4 times with top pair in PLO against PA.

@BT2 How can you say it's not interesting? When someone repeatedly sucks out Phil Hellmuth of all people. I watched this with no sound but watching Phil try to keep his composure when the loose cannon came over to him after the 3rd run was pure gold. He looked like he wanted to ball his eyes out when the case king hit on the 4th run. Hellmuthicus is not a dormant volcano.

^^^^^This.

Best part of this whole thing is that PHIL suggested running it more than 1x. How's that ego doin' now Phil?

Yeah, that stupid fn nit was whining about 3betting w/ A9. LOL, even Hellmuth thought he was talking about the slowroll.

That guy was way too happy/confident w/his KK.

The constant Phil hate on here almost makes me like him, almost.

Almost as good as the Andrew Robl/Patrik hand but not quite.

Tony G is ****ing brilliant. Trust him to be the one to rip into Phil after that horrible beat.

I've really no idea why Phil ran it 4 times, seems utterly ridiculous to me.

i hate seeing people cater to weak players like that.

its all very 2-faced with a lot of false-compassion and sympathy.

Why are they making fun of Phil for 3 betting with A9? That wasn't a horrible slow roll either.

It's obvious they just love making fun of Phil and will take any reason to do so. Phil is usually a complete ass and it's good to see an amateur suck out on him, but most of the flak he was getting was completely uncalled for.

Same here. That was great even when I realized what would happen. Especially everyone congratulating the Loose Cannon and whatnot. I hope no one notices the silly look on my face as I try to keep from throwing a little celebration myself. His victory dance makes me want to jump up and do a little shimmy myself

Amazing hand. It's not a true slow roll just because there was money behind, but it was clear that Wiggins was not folding there, so I think it's pretty fair to consider it a slow roll. There's a 0% chance that Helmuth was saying "so sick" because he put him squarely on TT, even Helmuth isn't that ******ed.

ahahaha that was pure gold, made my day, thanks kev

I just don't agree, that's not really a slowroll.

But the rest of the hand is obviously epic, and PH's face is so priceless
