Phil Hellmuth Furiously Rants After Losing a Hand in the World Series of Poker— It Was Impossible to Bleep It All Out!
By Alex Kopestinsky / November 1, 2021
When poker legend Phill Hellmuth has his good days, he can win 15 World Series of Poker bracelets, bag the $5,000 No-Limit Hold’Em event in 30 minutes, and even pay for his opponent’s entry fee (as he famously did for Campbell at the 2019 WSOP Main Event).
However, Hellmuth has become known for his foul-mouthed rants at poker events. When he wins, he wins big; but when he loses, he loses a lot of tough hands, leading to his infamous outbreaks.
Earlier this week, at the 2021 World Series of Poker Stud Championship, he fell into an end-hand foul-mouthed rant again. Even the commentators at the event predicted that Hellmuth would drop another f-bomb, and it happened.
Phill lost his hand at the final table during a roll-down river of three fives. His opponent won, and Hellmuth’s loss led to so many F-bombs, it was impossible to bleep out the entire rant.
Afterwards, Hellmuth lost a couple more hands and even started commenting about his opponent’s play, stating things like, “How does he get rewarded for that [expletive][other expletives] play?”
But at least he wasn’t eliminated; last time, he caused an uproar by dressing up as Thor and disappointing his followers— having to rectify the situation by paying his opponent’s entrance fee.
