Phil had nothing to get mad at. Baxter played well and had a great hand. Phil couldn’t do his normal complaining about how bad the opponent played or how lucky he got. So he had to invent something to get mad at. This is obviously not a slowroll, everyone knows it including Phil.

[@raywestcoast98]

Well ur a donk. That was a slowroll. He slowed the showdown action for no reason, because his pocket KK was unbeatable for that board by the action. He is either totally clueless how to play poker or he slowrolled. Thats why Hellmuth was so mad.

[@OJuggernautO]

@@raywestcoast98 He didn’t slow anything down, he announced two pair and Phil didn’t react at all. So he turned over his hand immediately after that. Phil was more mad that he announced “two pair”, which that IS technically what he had, but you don’t typically say that when there’s a pair on the board and you have an overpair. But it isn’t a slowroll. If he had pocket 3’s, said “two pair”, and then took forever to flip his cards, THAT would be a slowroll. But as I said. Baxter didn’t even take long to flip his cards. So yeah, there was no one TO get mad at here. The hands played themselves. So he had to invent something to make Baxter somehow be the “bad guy” to justify his angry tirade. It’s classic Hellmuth stuff. Nice try tho 😅

[@viking956]

I had a player accuse me of slow rolling once on a play just like that. I had pocket Queens to pair with 10's on the board. He held J/5 for Jacks over 10's. He made a big thing out of it just like Phil did here. About forty minutes later we're head-to-head with my trip sixes and his pocket Aces. At the river the board is busted so I know there's no flushes, straights, or boats. With no pairs on the board I know he can only beat me with higher trips. He raised me and I just called because I feared he might have me because he was betting so heavy. When I called he turned over his bullets and I just sat there for about four seconds and then turned over my pocket sixes. As I did so, I said " now this is what a slow roll really is." Honestly everybody got a little ticked at me but I felt it was important to make the point of not complaining about a slow roll unless there really IS a slow roll. And a couple of players even said "he's right, that was a slow roll, that hand before wasn't." Phil just needs to grow up.

[@stevenkaz28]

Phil and I must have a different definition of slow roll hahaha

[@dannyhantx]

I get what Hellmuth was thinking. Announcing "2 pair" implies that you dont have a pocket pair and you made 2 pair with the board. Baxter with pocket Kings should have said "kings" because saying 2 pair is kind of redundant because the pair of 3's was shared by everyone. That being said, Hellmuth was just whining about losing a pot.

[@sam.lipchutz]

He probably thought two pair wasn’t good, but he still should have said kings or just turned the cards over without saying anything. But Hellmuth is the biggest drama queen in poker so it hurts 10 times more for him

[@dave5857]

I think Baxter reckons there's a decent chance he's up against trip 3s. He should probably say "Kings" but I don't think there's any intent to slow roll given how quickly the call comes and his hand is turned over.

[@OJuggernautO]

He doesn’t have to say anything. He doesn’t have to say “kings”. He said what he had, and he had 2 pair. Baxter did absolutely nothing wrong, and this wasn’t a slowroll. Phil had to invent something to get mad at because he couldn’t complain like he normally does about the opponent getting lucky or playing bad.

Turns his cards over awfully slow and says “two pair”. If you have overpairs here you don’t say two pair. You’d say kings. Phil literally said that. It is such a cunt thing to do to actually say two pair.

[@notorioezz]

@@Born2Punch I disagree. "Kings" is not one of the 10 pokerhands. High card Pair 2 pair Trips Straight Flush Full house Straight flush Quads Royale So announcing 2 pair is correct. If Phil were to respond 1 pair both players know who wins. If Phil were to announce trips, both players still know who wins. But if both have 2 pair, it comes down to which cards exactly. That's when you announce Kings. And to be fair, I think he really put Phil on A3 so set of 3's or pocket in hand and set one of the other cards. The guy even said sorry. It was never the intention to slow roll. Clear as day. No offense

Phil has the nerve to criticize the play when he recently called an all in with Q4 and got very lucky against 99. I remember at the WSOP he had a set of 8s on the turn but the guy turned the nut straight and Phil paid the guy off and then criticized the play. To me Phil always seems to get himself (being too clever and trying to trap too often) into trouble (allowing his opponent to make the nuts) and pays off the pot and doesn't like that he was beat, even though if it was the other way about he would do the same thing and would say its world class poker. You think if you have made millions from Poker you would calm down a bit lol

A slow roll is when you make an act out of calling when you have the absolute nuts right? There are several hands that could beat KK here, straights , trip 3s, a full house. How did he slow roll?

I love Viffer. Even though he bad beat me for $100k+ in a short handed cash game at bellagio around this time he’s still a legend. U the man Viff

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

I like the little hole cards shuffle he does just before mucking . He does it a lot,looks at the cards themselves with such distain .😂

[@agricolaurbanus6209]

You never apologise to the bully. Baxter did, and PH immediately started insulting him.

[@Ballen81587]

The worse Phil acts the more bad luck he runs into

[@TonyEnglandUK]

He literally tilts himself.

[@AnthonyShuker]

he took 3 seconds to turn them over. phil didn't even say he had called or finished betting as baxter wasn't even looking

[@papigringo5692]

Today I learned that if you don't announce exactly which two cards you have, it's a slowroll.

[@owainjones319]

Totally agree with Viffer. Hellmuth called so quick it was ridiculous. So glad Viffer spoke up. Hellmuth is entertaining but he sound like an idiot when he mouths off like this

[@boledle]

I would never apologize to hellMOUTH. Screw'im

There is a poker etiquette in the pro circle about how to call the cards you have but Mike Baxter wasn't a pro at the time. He was a businessman just like Laliberte at this table. That's also why Baxter apologized quickly assuming that Phil was right to be angry. Hellmuth should have known there were non-pros at the table so he was out of line.
