Did I Deserve Better?

Here comes an article that I have been dreading writing for the last couple of weeks. I’m going to tell you exactly how I went out in the “big one” this year. First, I would like to say, “Please don’t feel sorry for poor old nine-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Champion Phil Hellmuth jr.!” After all, I don’t even feel sorry for myself.

You see, I feel blessed with great health for me and my family, a hot new book, nine WSOP wins, etc'(Jeff Shulman cut me off here!)

First off, after winning two Hold’em bracelets at the 2003 WSOP, I liked my chances in the big one. You see, I don’t always play great poker, and sometimes I don’t even feel like a great poker player, but occasionally I play spectacular poker for a month or two. And the WSOP in 2003 was my time to play spectacular poker!
