Probably no player gets more media space during this WSOP than Phil Hellmuth. He again fully proves his qualities and as a result has already appeared on three final tables, from which he took home more than a quarter of a million dollars. Despite these successes, everything was once again overshadowed by his nature.
During his last participation in the final table of the $10,000 Seven-Card Stud Championship Phil did not experience the best run, and the result was another tiltful explosion, during which there were swearing, screaming and also threats to burn the entire casino. Words are useless in this case, watch out what PokerBrat has shown once again.
Although the public likes similar tilts and blowouts, the global debate that has begun after this outburst raises an important question - isn't that too much? Poker pros have begun to condemn Hellmuth for this behavior, but the WSOP itself deserves the most criticism. Opinions are accumulating that any other player would be penalized or even banned for such behavior, but in Phil's case, no one bothered to give him a warning. What is your opinion?

Unfortunately, this behavior overshadowed the success of later winner Anthony Zinn, who reached $182,872 and the third bracelet of his career. In the tournament, he managed to deal with the aforementioned Phil Hellmuth, or Stephen Chidwick, who is considered by many to be the best NLH player in the world. Congratz!
