[I]They were pretty much even when it got to HU, but Phil then went on to dominate the HU match (90% + of it anyways)...then boom... Boom.. BOOM! (it was all over quickly as Rast doubled thru twice to make them even, then won final hand when Phil rrai into the NutStraight.. with a FD & OESD (< which was obv. no gd seeing as Rast held KQ nut strt)[/I]

meh.. so Phil got emotional (a bit) when he lost.  Is it really that surprising?  He'd already taken '2nd' place in two other events (#12 bracelet kept evading him.... just barely).. then to have a HUGE lead, dominate the match for 90% of it, then go out quickly... I think that'd be a bit of a bummer.. no?
I'm not a huge Phil Helmuth fan or anything but do enjoy watching him play & also find it entertaining.  Yes he can go over the top at times, berating other players & moaning about great injustices done to him.  It's just who he is.  From what I've heard (fwiw) he's a really nice person away from the tables - generous, genuine, kind & caring.  I think a bracelet win in the Players Championship  would've been great for Phil (& for poker)....  especially seeing as it seems he has the POY wrapped up now with his 2nd place finish.
