Hellmuth sitting out of the 2025 WSOP ME (1 Viewer)

@luve

Here we go. He's playing. Even after a public vote to not play. But... he'll likely flop either way on playing or not before then. Can't help asking for attention.

You mean the guy who hires, costumes, and choreographs a dozen actors to make his grand entrance to a tournament that he won 30 years ago? You think that guy likes attention?

Let the loud complaining and insults begin

Just watched his walk-on.



Phil... please... just stop. Congratulations, you've just disrupted the main for 15 minutes. You're earlier entries were at least entertaining.

I've never wanted to see someone bust so badly.

Blez on the entrance: "That was a complete disaster which kind of made it watchable. If it were any better we'd have changed away."

Never played but after the Moneymaker boom and the field grew to 6000+, I don't blame him. He can be a douche but he makes good points every know and again.

In the video linked above, Polk speculates that the WSOP told him to knock off his grand entrances, so he's pouting and sitting out.

So they actually stopped the clock for his entrance this year... Clearly the WSOP was involved in this look-at-me shenanigans.

I bet he stills plays. His ego is too big not to.

Called it

You mean Jack Effel's introduction wasn't the first hint?
