Fantastic for Phil. Nice to see him get a bracelet in a non Holdem event too!

Whats the view on @philivey play HU with @AMFrankenberger in the $10k PLHE?

I felt the commentators on the stream were being a little harsh on Phils challenger they seemed to give him no hope, I thought he had a great strategy really taking it to Phil with what were pretty mediocre hands. Not sure about Phil calling off 20% of his shortish stack with a str draw after the flop had to think a repot was in order?

Sigh at missing this, the two Phil"s heads up for bracelets at the same time.

Andy Frankenberger is a bit of a weird one. Every time I have seen him on TV he has played so bizarrely yet he has won so much in the game. Anyone know if there will be video of the heads up anywhere?

 I agree on frankenberger, hes won so much last 3 years but when-ever ive seen him on TV, im like WTF??
He won the partypoker prem league and he played soooo strange, the lines he took made no sense what so ever in Holdem and PLO during the heats. Never forget Schwartz getting tilted watching him from the box lol.

I think he defended the fold with QQ quite well, inasmuch as it was about points for finishing places. As I remember, the heat was unusual in that finishing first didn"t have a huge premium over second, but second did over third, plus two players had played their joker for double points in that round, so it was more important to him to preserve second and block them from scoring big than to go all-out for first and risk dropping out of the top two. I think he had made an overly big 3 or 4 bet before that, which he admitted afterwards was bad but was cos he didn"t appreciate how big a bet potting it is (like a lot of players). Something like that anyway - there were reasons for the fold, but he shouldn"t have got himself into that situation. A lot of the criticism came from the players who would have benefited from him busting - Sexton and can"t remember the other one.

Well done Hellmuth. His holdem game may be on the wane but his mixed game has come on a ton. Love the guy

I like Frankenberger as well. Played with a lot of class in the prem league. Does take some weird lines but always seems to know where he is in a hand.

[WYoung83]

 Didnt he 3 bet with QQ then fold to an all in when getting great price, then not long after he got it in with AK getting worse price. cant remember exactly but it didnt make sense for him to fold the QQs but call with the AK, weird logic.
Ive just looked on youtube regarding other weird hand, and i cant find it, but it was somthing like 3 betting with trash, flopping trips vs over pair, then checking it down. (hes won 4 major titles in 3 years so must be doing somthing right) cant remember hand exactly, but Luke schwartz was so annoyed in the box. It was really funny.

Well Done to Hellmuth also.

[MintTrav]

And he made Feldman cry - gotta love him for that.

[WYoung83]

i Sky +ed  the new prem league last night on sky sports, and just tried to watch it now (its just the qualifiers for a couple of weeks, but Feldman is commentating, and i turned it off after 20 mins or so. How has that guy ever made money in poker? almost everything he said is just crap and results based. Someone should tell him that when you play poker, u cant see what opponents have, and you dont know whats comming down on the board.
