\"\"The first time I noticed something might be wrong was when I got a tweet saying: \u201c@TonyGuoga<\/a> something must be wrong, Phil Hellmuth wasn’t dressed as Neo from The Matrix today.\u201d<\/p>\n

I laughed, smiled and thought\u2026 actually I want him to win the bracelet, I would quite like to see him beat Juanda.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I was the only one who found themselves in that position but it didn\u2019t sit comfortably. I wanted him to win so I have to put up with months and months of bragging? I need counseling, I need help I thought.<\/p>\n

I bet there were many people out there who wanted him to win but felt guilty for doing so. After he lost and Hellmuth\u2019s 72 hours of self flagellation started I felt sorry for him. Why, why, why! Pull it together Antanas!<\/p>\n

WPT Slovenia –\u00a0lots of tasty Italians there<\/h3>\n

Someone else tweeted me saying there was a \u2018strange force\u2019 at work that made them cheer on Hellmuth. I don\u2019t know about that but there was definitely something in the air.<\/p>\n

I remember when Hellmuth bust from the WPT Bay 101<\/a> last year and he curled into a ball and looked like he had a breakdown.\u00a0I said then that I thought he could be on the cusp of a mega comeback but I was wrong.<\/p>\n

I would be interested to hear what price anyone would lay about Phil getting a bracelet this year though. That said, if he has to pay himself will he play in many events?!<\/p>\n

Since then I have pulled it together and got over my Hellmuth man love. I don\u2019t think I am going to be going to WSOP this year but I don\u2019t rule anything out. I am going to WPT Slovenia in Portoroz between 17th \u2013 21st July as there will be lots of tasty Italians there.<\/p>\n

By that I don\u2019t mean models or bunga, bunga parties (though I heard the casino is putting on some free parties for those who want to wind down from Vegas in a suitable fashion) \u2013 I mean fresh seafood.<\/p>\n

Pull those Italians across the border and let\u2019s feast \u2013 I\u2019ve always told you I remain a hungry big saltwater crocodile with Lithuanian stripes.<\/p>\n
