I think Phil is calming down somewhat.If you seen him in the recent HU championship on NBC ( or one of the networks)sponsored by go daddy he was a complete gentleman.Also took down that match with flawless play to advance to the next level.Far as I'm concerned even when he was a bugger he was still a excellent player ( esp HU) and entertaining in his own way.

russ hamilton in my opinion. after the AP superuser scandal it is hard to argue otherwise. i remember hearing a story about mr. binion giving a wsop winner his weight in silver one year and the winner had like 5 pounds of change in his pocket and was eating excessively. i remembered it was an older fellow, was this hamilton does anybody know?
