Ok it seems like most of the posters here are simply congradulating phil in the hopes that they might one day meet up with him and talk poker. Give it a rest, he's a rich guy that plays poker on his budget which is higher than most of us. I think he's a smart guy and a well rounded poker player, but I too think he's not as good as some of these suckups on this site give him credit to be. I would like to see him go heads up against the poker superstars invitational crew... Howard, phil ivey, doyle.. etc.. So he knocked out Chris moneymaker... *sigh* I have no respect for Chris at all... But either way, I do enjoy watching Phil comment on celeb poker, it is the only reason why I catch a glimpse of that show occasionally... I mean what point is there to watch celeb poker if you're a serious poker player?.. It is no different than watching a group of chimps play cards (famous chimps).
