Phil Helmuth is very well known for his poker skills, but in the poker world he is known for his table antics and explosions. He is known as the master of reading players and putting them on the exact hands they have, but if he misreads or even worse, gets a bad beat - LOOK OUT! He usually curses a lot and walks away from the table.

When Phil Helmuth plays a televised tournament, and if he is the person being televised, you will probably hear a lot of bleeped out words and phrases if he gets beat.

Phil Helmuth has several tournament championships and is an all around great guy, but if you're sitting at his table at a main event in Las Vegas, and you happen to take him down, be prepared for a shelling of comments and degrading put downs, but don't take it personal - it's "The Brat" at his best, and we love him in the poker world, and without him, poker would be a lot less interesting, and less dramatic.
