Hellmuth Received Special Treatment at WSOP?

[stacy123]

Hellmuth has been the talk of the town in the poker community lately. He is being accused of receiving special treatment by Harrah's Entertainment officials during the main event of the WSOP.

An incident occured during the game in which Hellmuth got annoyed at another player and said distasteful things to the player such as calling him "an idiot" and saying he is the "worst player in history."

"It's sad that Phil's whining behavior has paid off for him here," one player wrote on the twoplustwo.com message board. "It's like people don't know how to deal with him. Give him his freaking timeout and let it be that. Someone has to play the parental role."

It is ridiculous that a grown man would act in this way during a tournament of this magnitude or anytime for that matter. He should have been penalized for his actions.
