Phil hit this once in a lifetime royal while playing at Aria casino . This was in 2010 but I had not seen it before.

It appears it was hit on Freeplay.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

The pic says Active Freeplay: $0.00 so I doubt it.

Hellmuth was told by poker player/VP degen Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler to play 10-play 9/6 JoB w/Quick Quads for dollars at River City in STL during the Heartland Poker Tour event. Early on he hit dealt quads for $2360:

But by the end of the weekend he was deep in the hole and lost at least $7k that Sunday night I think. I know that's ~standard for $60/hand, but I'm poor!

Phil is quite known for blowing thousands in slots.



At least he has molded an awesome media image for himself to afford it, I'm not sure I can say the same for the "Chainsaw".
