From Pokernews' live updates:
Quote:
After a series of disastrous hands, during which he has become increasingly worked up, Phil Hellmuth is down to 50,000 and it looks as though it might be approaching his bedtime. He has once again demanded that Steve Frezer instruct the dealers in how to do their job according to, "Correct procedure," and has now wandered across to the other table to share his woe with Howard Lederer. "Might not make it 19 minutes, bud," he laments."
Then...
Continuing the late-night disastrous run, Phil Hellmuth is down to just 25,000 and has made the dealer cry. The TD has come over and attempted to smooth things over, explaining that the dealer has been working for 14 hours and that it isn't her fault, but the dealer is quite upset and Hellmuth is being threatened with a penalty for attacking the dealer if he doesn't cool off soon.
The dealer is now receiving a soothing massage from the TD, and with just three minutes left on the clock, it looks like things are going to be ok."
I know it has been discussed before but the behavior of these guys needs to be penalized and made unacceptable.
