If you're going to play against Phil Hellmuth you better be prepared to be lectured on all the things you do wrong and the WSOP is no exception.

Every table Hellmuth has been at it's always the same thing. "You called me to the river with that? I'm looking forward to taking your chips." etc. etc. Not that he's only negative. We've heard him compliment players on what they've done correctly but the fact remains, he's still giving a lecture.

Hellmuth is pictured above giving one of his pateneted WSOP lectures to Keith Ferrera after they got into a hand together.

Hellmuth lead out pre-flop with an 18,000 bet. Ferrara called and the flop came {9-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. Hellmuth threw out 20,000 and Ferrara made the call. The turn came the {7-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The river was the {2-Diamonds} they both checked again.

"Ace high," announced Hellmuth and Ferrera turned over A-Q. Hellmuth sneered and mucked his cards.

"I just got called for 20,000 with ace high on the flop. I'm gonna get some bucks from that guy for sure."

Hellmuth is currently stting with 415,000 and Ferrara has 1.2 million. Bodog poker pro Evelyn Ng (seen above in seat 8) seems to be getting a little tired of the speeches. She is currently sitting with 190,000 here in Day 4 of the WSOP.
