I think they are both great card players and very funny people. I could watch those two all the time.

I used to loathe Mike the Mouth a few years ago. Then for some reason, I just took a liking to the guy. It could be that he blew all of his WSOP money on drugs (major coke jaw) that one year, hit rock bottom, then proceeded to climb back to the top of his game. His table image is great now, IMO, and his skill is top notch as well. (He was just the chip leader at Foxwood's WPT event, will have to check it out and see how he fared. He also finished #29 in this years Main Event, I believe.) He hangs around in almost every tournament he enters. The guy can flat out play. No if's, and's or but's about it.

As for Hellmuth, he is great for the 'sport'. Plays the role of the villain to a tee, has everyone at his table either gunning for him, or running from him. (Which can backfire some times) And Doc, he may play the role of the "brat" or "dweeb" (which is mostly an act), but his record clearly speaks for itself. Second to none when it comes to accomplishments in the poker world, and only he can say that.

Damn. I was rooting for him to get it done. He'll probably get to another final table in his next attempt. Guy has a knack for knowing where he stands in each and every hand he enters. Uncanny would do it no justice when trying to describe it.
