wow.... hellmuth down to 500k in chips... this guy jeff now has over 2.5mill in chips... Phil needs to push here soon... good luck phil

phil doubled up by catching a nut flush on the river.... still only with 750k... rooting for phil. still plenty of chips to play with the big blind is only at 50k..

Didn't actually check to see what time this ended, but end it did - with Phil taking home.....second place.

No bracelet for Phil. He raised all in on a flop of 6-4-3 and is called. Jeff turns over 5-3, Phil 5-4. Phil turns his trips but the jack on the river gives Jeff the diamond flush.

I'd be willing to bet that, even with it being Phil, there wasn't an explosion. I'd more suspect it would be like letting air out of an air mattress - just a slow, deliberate deflation.

That my guess too.... it sounds like he maybe had a bit of bad luck on a couple of hands, but nothing TOO major. Overall, I think he was outplayed.

That kid just went from being a complete nobody to someone everyone will have their eye for the rest of the series and beyond. Winning any bracelet is a big deal, but this was a life changing tourney for him, for sure.

I loved the quote in that blog... "Tonight history or a hissyfit will be made."

Priceless.

hes still THE best Tourney player in the world. Plus i just love watching him, its really fun to watch. People like that do mroe for poker for people who know the game than Hachem and other big winners.

EDIT - this post makes no sense
