Poker After Dark - Who Do You Think You Are Playing With?

 icon

  There is a long time enmity between two pro poker players, one that literally led to blows during one http://www.launchpoker.com/sp/wsop/ competition. Sam Grizzle and Phil Hellmuth just rub each other the wrong way, which was exactly the reason to put them both at the table during Hecklers' Week of NBC's Poker After Dark. Shawn Sheikhan, Jean-Robert Bellande, Mike Matusow and Gavin Smith were also at the table, but despite them all being hot heads to one degree or another, no one wanted to put the hurt on each other like Sam and Phil.  In this hand Phil raised with $600 holding: ... The rest of the players got out of the way and Sam realized it was going to be just him and Phil. Sam decided to raise it up holding: ... making it $2,200 to go. Only a few moments passed before Phil moved all in over the top. Sam thought for a moment, and then folded.  Phil could not pass up the chance to rub in what he had done. "Who do you think you are playing with?" he asked Sam, and then turned to address the rest of the players. "He had nothing. He was going to take the pot and then laugh." Sam, for a moment speechless, couldn't find a way to address his enemy directly, and so turned instead on Mike Matusow, who had lost a great deal of chips to Phil earlier in the game. "This is your fault, Mike. If you hadn't dumped him all those chips, I would have won that pot."
