Phil, had great oppurtuntiy to win the big one from 2000- to 2003 only to be outdrawn in big crucail hands. He had one of the best world series ever in 2003 winning three bracelets and deserved to make the final table at the bi one. Tournaments are what is in, and when he is dedicated he is the best no limit player in the world today, and probalby second best ever behind Stu Ungar
