Default LOL Phil Hellmuth
The Brat gets a 1-orbit penalty for the start of play today for berating another player.

Guy raises in position, Phil reraises from the SB, guy calls. Flop comes T-high. Phil checks, guy bets a bit less than half the pot, Phil folds AKo face up. Matusow goads other guy to "show the bluff", guy tables T4s and Phil goes Krakatoa on him.

Now Phil loses more than 10% of his stack before being allowed to play a hand. Nice.

This play happens because we have seen Phil make too many big laydowns on TV. All I can think is somewhere, Seidel is feeling justified for almost always refusing to show his cards to the hole-card cameras.
