  He gets a lot of ribbing from his fellow professional poker players, but Phil "The Poker Brat" Hellmuth really can play poker: he does have 11 World Series of Poker bracelets, more than any other player in history, and when he appears on Poker After Dark, he is sometimes teased to the point that one begins to suspect the other players are jealous.  When they brought together six poker players and called it Hecklers' Week, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that there would be plenty of teasing all around.

While Sam started with the best hand, he ended up with the worst one after the flop. Phil had a pair but it was the bottom pair. Shawn checked from under the gun, and the Poker Brat took the initiative and bet out $600.  Both of his opponents folded, Shawn actually throwing away the best hand. Keeping with his style, Phil mucked his cards without showing his opponents how good he actually was.
