Phil Starr Likes Royal Flushes

Three-way pot with Phil Starr and Steve Dannenmann. The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. One player moved all in for 68K. Starr moved all in for 90K. Dannenmann folded {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} face up and said, "Only a small mistake not to call a raise."

Player 1: {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Starr: {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

Dannenmann folded the best hand but it ended up being a good fold. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river was the {K-Diamonds}. Starr rivered a royal flush.

Hellmuth Keeping Cool With Obnoxious Player

Luke Vrabel is in seat two at Phil Hellmuth's table and has been very vocal, annoying the entire table with his loud antics. He recently started taking jabs at Phil, who is maintaining his calm but finally said, "Who do you think you're playing with, kid?" Luke sarcastically replied, "Phil Hellmuth, the greatest No-Limit player in the world... I've got a story to tell my grandkids."
