I only watched the first half, but ...

ROFLMAO at Ivey's ability to take Hellmuth's money even when Ivey is on the rail.

Ivey won about $115k by the end of the two episodes lol.

That's awesome.

I've only watched the first episode as well, but what I love the most is how retarded Phil (Hellmuth) is with the insurance.

Ivey gives him bad odds.
He gladly accepts.
He then goes to his wife and brags about how if he loses the hand, he's going to win $x from Ivey (when he should be saying, "Honey - I just made another horrible bet!").

Meanwhile, when his hand holds up, he continues to give a huge portion of the prize money he's about to win to Ivey.

You just have to love that.

I dont think Phil cares about the prize money... he would gladly give Ivey every dime of the prize money for the bracelet.

what is even funnier is how Hellmuth reportedly lost over 500k to Ivey playing chinese poker at the WSOP.

maybe he just likes Ivey a lot and wants him to have his money.

i remember on a episode of poker after dark greg raymer was telling a story about berry greinstein. he was saying it was break from a toureny and berry was massive chip leader in the tourney and went in a side game of chinese poker with ivey, helmuth and i think he said daniel. well by the time they started dealing after break berry lost more then 1st place would of played him that tourney. thats kinda of sick how much they gamble on that game.
