    Only got to watch from Greenstein's bustout until they went on break 4 handed (I have a day job that starts @0430CDT), but he was playing pretty agressive and was catching some good cards..figured he would win it. Did anyone notices how he attacked his salad? Now that was some really agressive action! LOL

    Congrats to Phil! Incredible how passionate he is! Would have been real cool to see both Phil's win bracelets last night but at least one of them did.

    Loved how he got into Brandon Cantu's head by refusing to slide over 6 inches to give Brandon a little more table room. Said he didn't want to move from his 'lucky spot'.

    I respect Phil and I'm glad he got the 'non hold 'em bracelet' off his back.

    He can now afford a razor and shave that scruff off his face.

    Interesting little little trivia sidebar, the man he beat to win bracelet #12, Don Zewin, was a man he knocked out when they were down to 3 handed play in his very first bracelet win 23 years ago (with a dominated hand no less). In watching the video clip of that moment, it appears like Don must have been drinking pretty hard these last 23 years because he looks like he's aged about 40. Hellmuth looks like he's 17.
