Everyone said Hellmuth played awful at the end and got super lucky.
Some people seem to just be blessed with luck at the tables. Not to say that Hellmuth isn't a great tournament player, but luck smiles on him plenty, as well.

Dude has how many bracelets? Everyone has to get lucky to win obviously but gotta give the man some credit.
Phil Hellmuth Jr. says he dedicated his win to Dave Goldberg.
He died in an accident in Mexico, he fell off a treadmill and cracked his head open, nobody found him for hours. He died a short time after that.
Phil wants to give his bracelet to Chief Operating Officer of Facebook Sheryl Sandberg (net worth: $1 Billion).
Honestly does she know who the fuck Phil Hellmuth is? or even give a shit about poker?
Phil Hellmuth wants to give people the impression that he is important and relevant.
Wow he knows Chamath, former employee at Facebook who is a billionaire and his best friend.
Winning bracelet #14 would've been worth something 5 years ago but today it doesn't mean very much anymore.
Like a masochist, I looked at the Day 2 results of the $3k LHE.
Bardah made it with fairly good chips, as did Hawrilenko.
Negreanu cashed but busted. Same with Newhouse.
Somehow Yegor from Commerce (2nd last year in the $1500 Limit) bounced back from a very short stack and has chips, as well.
Speaking of Commerce players, Max and CC both had a similar fate to me -- busting late in the day without cashing.
The huge stack who busted me is still one of the top (I think #3 or #4).
Chip leader is some random I don't know and didn't play with.
The megafish who was limping constantly somehow managed to cash (but is gone).
Quaternion is still in the field but is on the short side. Gabriel Nassif (2013 $5k Limit final table with me, finished 2nd) is there but very short stacked.
Depressing. I should be there.
I have much more the mindset of a cash player. Even when I have terrible cash session, I am depressed for about a day and then completely get over it. Tournament fails stick with me for a long time.
He made two questionable plays HU (a few hands from the end) that he caught great. The funny thing is that two big pots that kept Gordo from busting were also calls when he was way behind... and got Hellmuth to brick out. The one that sticks out Gordo had K55, Phil raised and Gordo stuck it in! I think Phil was likely tilted a little for his two bad calls, because it should have been over.
Typo. You mean Quarteronion? Best NWP pro ever.

wish we had a chinamaniac sweat this year
china, how could you?
breh hes probably sweating right now its a gland thing
Krypt, I mean best as in coolest, not best as in most autistic.
Millionaire Maker down to 15.
Lindgren, Busquet, Mike Sexton still in. Don't they wish they saved their run good for the main in a 7200 person tourney?
Since the tourney was only $1500 does Lindgren have 100% of himself and will be able to pay back some debt? Would be interesting to hear what his debt load is like these days.

I'm the fucking coolest. Got it? Me.
You are not a professional poker player. You are a golden god.I'm the fucking coolest. Got it? Me.
He did play a couple of hands what most would consider very poor but at the same time winning those hands more or less crippled Gordo. I think he just said fuck it I am going to draw out and end this or will still have a lead to finish it.
Maybe later in the series. There was about a 10 % chance I would have come out for the first 2 limit events but I had a commitment that took up this past weekend and I wasn't going to take an 8 hr flight 2 ways to play the $1500 last Monday.
However with every dark cloud there is a silver lining. My cash results while I would have been in vegas have been solid
7 left. Sexton out. Busquet 2nd, Lindgren 4th.
I'm rooting for Lindgren so he can live the good life while not paying back his debt.
