"The Poker Brat" Phil Hellmuth has responded to recent criticism regarding the way he played the famous hand against Andy Black during the PartyPoker.com Premier League II, featured recently on Matchroom Poker's Hand of the Week section.

Famed for his impressive folds, Hellmuth blasted: "To me, it's funny when players claim that they would have folded a strong hand in retrospect. And you know damn well that they wouldn't, couldn't, and they look bad by even opening their mouths!"
