Remind Me Not To Major In Psychiatry At Stanford
A friend sent me a link to Phil Hellmuth's Wikipedia page and said I'd get a laugh out of it. At first I failed to find the humor, but then I came across this passage:
Hellmuth resides in Palo Alto, California with his wife Katherine Sanborn (a psychiatrist at Stanford University) and two sons, Phillip III and Nicholas.
That's right, his wife is a psychiatrist. This guy has had more people recommending therapy to him on ESPN than Terrell Owens, and his wife does that sort of thing for a living.
I can't imagine their home life. I wonder if she was really just doing an intense case study on insecurity and compensation for an underdeveloped ego, and then the guy won millions of bucks at poker.

I know you don't watch Poker on TV, but anyone that does, probably knew this.
Either last year or the year before, Hellmuth was going back and forth from the main table (I believe it was an early part of the Main event) to his wife, and I'm not sure how it came about, but someone asked him about his wife and asked him what she did for a living, and you could see Hellmuth start to get a little red in the face knowing when he told what she did, they would have a field day with that information. It was a pretty funny thing to see, Hellmuth seemed normal for a few seconds....LOL
