I have been at the same table as Hellmuth a couple of times, and he seemed friendly enough with everybody. I can't recall seeing him really having a real dig at anyone, but have seen him cursing bad play whilst leaving another table. I'd happily sit with him again, and there are way worse people to spend a few hours with. I'd put him down as a positive to improve your WSOP experience.
Matusow is something else; you hear him from several table lengths away and he just comes accross as a huge douche whenever you hear him. I haven't had the misfortune to sit on his table yet, but 5 tables away is enough to get a view that you really wouldn't want to spend a couple of hours sat next to him..
I mean he completely butchered that hand - hard to see him winning in the long term getting 150bb in on the flop with A high - He only ever gets called there drawing dead.
Always seemed like a moron and bad for poker in general.... Entertaining to watch however
Absolutely butchered the hand, didn't even realise it was a freezeout and reacted like a complete ****, although it probably made Hellmuth feel a bit better about his own rants, I wonder if he'll reconsider whether staking him is a worthwhile investment?

Shahram Sheikhan always seemed like the younger brother looking to play with his older brothers 'pals' in poker terms.
