He has always been like this, it just depends on the degree.....which does change from year to year. A leopard will never change its spots. The worst I've ever heard him be, and one of the rare times where is was a sore winner as well as a sore loser, was the 2007 WSOP Europe ME where it got so bad, 62 year old Thor Hansen at his table said that he told Phil if he kept up the taunting, that he would punch him lol.

Granted, I've never heard him call people names as much as I do this year. He called Justin Bonomo a "pussy" for 3 betting him preflop after losing his TT to Justin's 8s6s on a T97 board. (I wish I could show the hand but Poker Central took most of the vids off youtube which is LOL b/c they should be showing replays to use as a vehicle to sell future subs, instead of making people pay for all of them....which ppl wont).

And the WSOP and other casinos let him get away with it, where as if this is you or I, we get penalized or even DQ'd as repeat offenders after the initial "yellow card" warning.

It's bullshit, really.
