Phil Hellmuth’s WSOP Entrance
For those following the WSOP main event right now, who caught the entrance of the “Poker Douche” Phil Hellmuth yesterday? Does this guy have his head so far up his own ass that he can’t see how much of a douchebag he really is? Basically his entrance was designed to make him look like some kind of modern day Julius Caesar? WTF, Caesar would probably turn over in his grave and stab Hellmuth for this, because after all Caesar was a military man, not some TV crybaby that only became famous because he was good at cards.
I think Dragomir said it best in that video above, “It cost me $10k to play this tournament, it cost you nothing!”, which Phil can’t argue as he is paid to play by one of poker’s shadiest online sites, Ultimate Bet.
Anyway, I love watching him blow up at other players for making stupid plays when he is the king of making stupid plays himself.
So, if you are a Hellmuth fanboy, or just want to see how dumb he looked going into the WSOP yesterday, here is the video of his entrance:

Ya, I see what you are saying, but their goal is to get positive press for Ultimate Bet, which I will never give.

He’s been doing these over-the-top entrances for a few years, starting with the year he trashed a race car. For the European tournie last year, he had his legions of fans dress up like him, line up outside, and spout his favorite quotes (like, “YOU’RE THE WORST PLAYER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD!” etc).
Whatever. It’s to his own detriment he accentuates his douche-bagginess. He has 11 bracelets, which is some fine card-playing, but he’d rather be known as “The Poker Brat” (even though he’s in his 40s), which means he’d rather we talk about his antics than his actual accomplishments.
Then again, as you point out, he pimps for the sleaziest online site out there, so maybe this assholier-than-thou behavior really is the real him.
