The $50K HORSE HU match was mesmerizing, incredible TV. Pretty amazing when you can't even see the hole cards. Phil basically shipped it 3 times with flush draws FTW and bricked them all. On one, the guy bet/called flop with AKo on T44 board, so Phil was basically a 50-50 there.

It's time to stop calling Phil a NLHE specialist. The $50K HORSE event is really now the most prestigious event in the WSOP, as all of the best players covet that bracelet. When you get to HU vs. the best players in the world in a mixed game event, you must be pretty good at da pokahs.

I really think that Hellmuth is still basically a cash game fish vs. the best in the world, but it is pretty lol that so many people think NL200 players could own him. He has no business sitting at a cash game with Ivey/Durrrr/Antonius etc.

He knows how to shift gears and take advantage of his image. If you watched the HU match vs. Rast you really saw that. It was amazing how aggro he got -- can't wait to see the hands. He makes good live reads, which is an underrated part of poker by many online specialists. He also still makes some pretty LOL mistakes once in a while that get too much attention, because even the best players make mistakes quite often IMO.
