Ragging on Phil
Phil Hellmuth rode his luck to accumulate a respectable 135,000 stack, but not without controversy on the way. Featuring on the ESPN coverage table, a fellow player called Dan Druff tried to give the 11 times bracelet winner a hairy time. When Hellmuth raised UTG, Druff sarcastically chimed, 'Can you see my cards? Oh wait, I forgot, we're not on Ultimate Bet' (referring to the Ultimate Bet<http://www.caledonianmedia.com/sitestat.aspx?siteurl=9547> cheating scandal, which saw UB employees with master accounts swindle players out of thousands). Rather than back down, Hellmuth responded, 'So a company has some low-level employees do some dishonest things that people don't know about for awhile. Do you blame everyone in the company for that?'. Before discussions could go any further, a WSOP floor man intervened, and gave players a final warning.
