On one occasion, Hellmuth, which is often very talkative during games, so angered the veteran PokerPro Sam Grizzle that the two made a fist fight. Hellmuth submits that the meeting ended in a draw and none became male.Nella first week of Poker After Dark television show aired on NBC , Hellmuth asked his colleagues Shawn Sheikhan , Steve Zolotow, Gus Hansen and Huck Seed to be silent when it should decide how to play his hand after Annie Duke raised against him. The four initially complied with the request, but when Hellmuth himself began to speak, was teased by Seed, who said, "please be quiet so I can talk," urging the laughter of the other players. Hellmuth left the set and threatened to never return to play on the show, but then came back convinced by the producers, but did not stay at the table for long, it was eliminated a few hands later by Sheikhan. Duke was the only player at the table to remain quiet during the whole affair. However, in a later interview, he reported that the behavior of Hellmuth, "I would say is the most exaggerated reaction I've ever seen."
The sponsor of Hellmuth, UltimateBet , organized his arrival at the 2007 WSOP Main Event in a car race marked UltimateBet, UltimateBet accompanied by eleven models (one for each bracelet won by Hellmuth at the WSOP). However, Hellmuth ran into the car in the parking lot of Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino losing control of the vehicle and hit a lamppost in concrete. After the accident, Hellmuth showed up at the edge of a limousine, he joined the models, and made his grand entrance to the Main Event two hours tardi.Alcuni thought the whole incident was staged, but Hellmuth denied them. Later downplay the incident in a television advert for UltimateBet. In 2008, Hellmuth had once grand entrance to the Main Event of the World Series of Poker. To reconnect to the promotion UB Army UltimateBet is in fact in a convoy with military dress, wearing a helmet with eleven stars (remember the eleven bracelets).
On day 5 of 2008 WSOP, Hellmuth ran a hand against Cristian Dragomir. At the request of the other players at the table, Dragomir revealed that he had called the raise before the flop with Hellmuth 10 ♦ ♦ 4 (a weak hand). Hellmuth insulted Dragomir, gave him the 'idiot "several times, and eventually received a warning from an official reprimand for repeated another player. In addition, other players (including his good friend Mike Matusow , who sat at the same table) advised him to stop. Nevertheless, he continued to insult Dragomir until he received a penalty of one round. The penalty would take effect the next day at the start of the game. However, during the night, Hellmuth met privately with WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack, who quashed the decision's learning curve. (At the end Hellmuth ended the tournament at 45 ยบ place, mind Dragomir finished 28 th.) The next day Hellmuth Dragomir apologized for his behavior.
On December 20, 2008 Hellmuth was playing $ 200 / $ 400 limit hold'em heads up on UltimateBet , which is the site of the spokesman, when he took over an apparent technical problem of the software. The flat $ 5,599 was awarded to Hellmuth, although had the worst hand. (His opponent had K ♦ Q ♥ for a trio of King and Hellmuth had 10 ♣ ♥ 2 for two pair.) This hand became the subject of considerable controversy in online forum because of Hellmuth's comments that followed the incident. In fact right after the other player to inform him of the error in the allocation of the pot, Hellmuth said simply, "You want to play or what?" In addition, when asked later in the hand, Hellmuth said that similar errors had a hundred times in his career online "I would say to them 50 times and 50 times in my favor." (This contradicted the official statement to the effect that UltimateBet had not found any other example of this error.) Finally, the previous UltimateBet cheating scandal led to suspicions about the plausibility of the explanation of the company, which gave the sins of the error to a computer bug.
