8.2M$ HU ^^

Holy shit Esfandiari and Tricket was not the HU I was expecting.

Ehhh, I was hoping trickett would win.

congrats to Esfandiari though

gg trickett didnt play so well hu but hats off to both of them

Fuck I literally only saw the final hand -_-

And just like that, Esfandiari is the all-time winningest player.

now I'm wondering what % Antonio had of himself

I have been wondering from the start how Antonio got into the tourney and who bought up chunks of that guy. Obv Laak and some of their rich hollywood friends. Quite a sick life for him and he has put in the life grind for it.

it wouldnt be outrageous to assume he had <20% of himself. Would Antonio fork over 200k cash for one MTT? He's a HSP regular to some degree so 20-30% of his own money isn't unreasonable either. I'd say it was 30% or less of himself. Thoughts?

id guess 25

wondering about trickett tho

Hard to say with Trickett, he could have swapped % with durrr/galfond or just threw it all down himself. No idea how much he has made in Macau but it is most likely many many millions

Hellmuth had 15% of himself according to his twitter

Payouts :
Place Player Prize
1 Antonio Esfandiari $18,346,673
2 Sam Trickett $10,112,001
3 David Einhorn $4,352,000
4 Phil Hellmuth $2,645,333
5 Guy Laliberté $1,834,666
6 Brian Rast $1,621,333
7 Bobby Baldwin $1,408,000
8 Richard Yong $1,237,333

Accordingly with the commentor on day 1 of the big one Antonio had 100% of himself.

Hellmuth is an alltime biggest nit, he wouldnt have more than 15% of himself even if he was a billionaire

And thats a bad thing?

imo hellmuth is one of the best players out there. i don't know anyone who tilts so much yet has the composure to actually make good plays anyways. obviously not always but more often than not. he's probably the one player everyone wants to bluff aswell and judging by his track record in the wsop he knows who to exploit this. pretty impressive to be honest.

I can't believe hellmuth gets so much respect these days. It's weird for me to say this because I generally think the online pros underestimate the live pros really,really badly but phil hellmuth just strikes me as the big exception. Did you follow this event? Did you see the AQ hand where he got the ultimate cooler against a recreational player's 66 on A Q A 5 6 type of board and he just called the river in position because he was scared of AA.. (He also got AA > KK against another recreational player, but that time he actualy managed to put his money in the pot, bravo great one)

or that hand where he folds QQ with 15bb (I thought it was a joke at the time but... maybe he is really that bad?)... or that hand in the big game where he herocalls a recreational player who gave off every tell in mike caro's book

The only thing hellmuth has going for him is that recreational players at the wsop have an extra incentive to try to suck out on him (they want him to throw a tantrum and get on TV) and that probably helped him tremendously since 2003


what is about hellmuth that impresses you? where did he play a hand really well? Or are it his "amazing" results? I wonder how he is actually doing because all we have is his wins, we don't know how much he bought in for over the years

this 2+2 thread talks about PH's results in the WSOP, assuming that he paid the buy-ins for every event since his main event win. Those results are impressive but I wonder how it would look if you included all tournaments not just wsop

it's interesting but the sample is ridiculously low
