Hellmuth at the FT of the $1500 mixed : Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better; Big O (7-Handed) event.

@clovis8 weā€™ve got a sweat

Holy shit canā€™t believe he bubbled our bet. Whew. That is too close for comfort. lol.

Dude just keeps playing badly and riding the 5th standard deviation of luck. Must be nice.

whatā€™s the bet?

also he plays every tournament in the series i think, dunno how much deviation there is in him making a ft.

$500 if he makes top three in an event this wsop.

He doesnā€™t play any of the high buyins I donā€™t think because even he knows he is a huge fish.

I donā€™t understand dnegs complaint here. He didnā€™t call the bet, how can he win that money?

Because he had the only live hand after Artur folded.

i thuoght it was a good ruling in the situation but i guess you can angle shoot it by lets say shoving river as a bluff and insta mucking if your opponent is about to call.

I actually donā€™t think the rules as written allow for that to happen.

I donā€™t really know Hi-Lo so maybe someone else can correct me, but these players were all quite bad, no?

Some of the hands are seriously lol.

Hellmuth sponsored by Karate Combat has to be the most lol sponsorship of all time.

Just watched his bust out hand and he is still micā€™d up calling everyone terrible. He really is a huge douchbag. No idea why anyone is his fan.

Any specific hands jump out to you? I havenā€™t watched it yet, but Iā€™d try to take a look at some of the hands that interest people.

1:54:00 thereā€™s an ICM suicide is the obvious one.

Hellmuth doing his typical ā€œIā€™m so good I can just check/call instead of building pots and outplay these guys later onā€ and then getting in bad spots and losing pots he shouldnā€™t have.

There were several hands that seemed bungled to varying degrees.

I guess another is 2:08:00. Seems incredibly dumb by Vucancic to pick this hand to try and bully Hellmuth, but then he backs into his low. Also seems like Phil probably just has to make the crying river call? Although I guess Vucancic should have a T+ there almost always as you canā€™t expect him to have played a low hand like this.

The only reason hellmuth has success in the low buyin events is that is the only place where his habitual ā€œstrategyā€ of slow playing everything at all times pays dividends. People want to give away their chips to him so it works.

When playing anyone with a functioning brain and not star struck he is drawing dead.
