Classic ending when Shieky says, "Tiger, you wanna sweat me now?"

Priceless.

Is that what he said? I thought it was "Tiger, you want a swing at me now?" Either way, that was gold.

Hellmuth is such a baby, it's beyond annoying. It's like he's 9 years old or something.

Gotta take Phil's side on this one. Although he didn't need to take it to that extreme which he is so known for doing. I saw this whole episode, and there was constant banter going on at the table. But when Phil was faced with a sort of big decision he asked everyone if they could be quiet, and everyone else at the table being top notch and very respectable pros should've shown some respect at that point, if only atleast for a min. I am sure if any of them were faced with the same situation they would expect some respect from the rest of the table. But once again Phil definately didn't need to storm off the set like a small child.

In Phils 22 years he should have learned to deal with the pressure of people talking etc.

This is like saying it's okay what micheal richards did because security should have thrown out the hecklers. He could not handle the pressure and he acted like a baby. Phil did the same

The first really out of line comment comes from Seed. There's side banter at the table when Phil raises, and after Annie makes it 5,000 Phil makes his comment about "setting up" the situation, Gus, Zolotow and Sheiky make comments and Phil says "Please shut up." They all shut up, then Huck makes his comment, "He means shut up so I can talk." That should be a warning to Seed if not a penalty.

Annie keeps her mouth shut, but I'm sure she wants the rest of them to clam up and let Phil hang himself on her Kings.

Phil was right to be annoyed, but as usual, wnet way too far. Also not the first time I've seen Seed get out of line at a table on TV.

Seed's comment came AFTER Phil asked everyone to be quiet... and then started babbling himself! It may be poor etiquette to talk in a situation like this, but you are most certainly allowed to. Warning? Penalty? Please.... Phil overreacted just like he always does. The only one out of line was him.

I am not claiming conspiracy, but the truth is that is would be piss poor television if everyone got quiet and Pil was allowed to go into the tank for 2 minutes or whatever. You have to believe that the producers were damn pleased with all the table banter, it served the bottom line.

And I agree with TP, I understood Seed’s comment as “Phil means shut up so Phil can talk”.

Maybe a penalty, or a formal warning is wrong, and I understand that this is TV, therefore there's going to be a little more leeway than in a normal tournament, but after Phil asks for quiet, the only thing he says is "so, its 4,000 more?" Then Seed, who is not in the hand (and it hasn't been long enough to ask for the clock yet) makes his comment.

In a normal situation, the dealer should speak up at this point. I think that was what I meant to be my point. After that. Phil turns into the whiny little baby he usually becomes and the whole thing gets out of control. I agree that if Phil has the ability to ignore Seed's comment, maybe the situatrion just fades away.

Yes, Phil's an idiot, but he's in the hand and can talk all he wants. Seed isn't, and should keep his mouth shut. If I'm the onew who reraised with KK, I'm not 100% in love with the tone of what's going on, but I don't want to say anything that might give away the fact that I have a strong hand.

Good TV? Sure. But not a good lesson for new poker players.

It's nice to see him realize that after the fact, but still, the guy has no control of his emotions.
