Not gonna happen.

But I am impressed with how well he's been playing lately.

we'll see...

how ironic would it be for Phil to win #10 in O8 when he won the 1st 9 all in holdem?

If by "ironic," you actually mean "unlikely," then I believe the answer is "very." Phil is widely accepted as one of the best tourney hold'em players in the world, but that's about it... Winning any other tourney would definitely give him some more credibility.

he final tabled an omaha high tourny last WSOP no?

omahilo · #6 07-17-06, 10:22 PM

yeah he did...

he also finished 2nd in another O8 FT vs Scotty Nguyen a few years back...

hes not a bad overall player, he just hasnt won a bracelet in anything other than holdem.
