Hellmuth Not the Butt of the Joke?

Usually Phil Hellmuth is the man with the target on his back. Most jokes made at Hellmuth's table are made at his expense. To be fair, Hellmuth is usually good-natured about those jokes but he has definitely been the recipient of more than his fair share.

But Hellmuth was the one doing the needling a short time ago when Allen Kessler popped up to complain to the floor that the feature table -- pulled out of the center of the floor and put in a special feature table area -- had not been broken in order. That was where Hellmuth started razzing Kessler for being a rules nit.

"Does Allen talk to you every single day?" Hellmuth asked the floor.

"Yes," replied the floor. The whole table burst into laughter. For his part, Kessler took it just as good-naturedly as Hellmuth often does.
