Of course Dnegs is right Helmuth hasn't run deep in the main in ages.
And you're right PH is an attention whore. I would have bet a lot of money at even money he'd play the main when he first said he wasn't playing.

And I thought he maybe wouldn't. I even think he pondered that option himself, it wasn't all totally lies. But then he saw the pros outweighed the cons. Not the time yet.

The big question is: will there be an entrance?

I tried not to think so, but the word relics came to mind.


I'm not trying to start anything, but he didn't win a ring in TEN years before 2024. TEN. Phil would need to 105 years old to do that.

He managed to do something even sillier and stupider. Add him to the Andre The Giant/Prince Charles Rich & Famous People I’d Never Want To Be list, though I’d much rather be him than them, I guess.

Phil is being too needy in this instance. Man up Phil no excuses. I never heard a strong player like jason Koon make excuses. Phil you been playing for decades sir why can't you adjust to the game or just not complain? Phil you have a tournament that you have an edge in and you still complain? How can you be one of the best and complain about the main event? Phil this is

who do you think you're talking to, exactly? You think he gives two shits about what YOU have to say or think? lol...too funny.
