I have seen just about every poker show on tv (thanks tivo), which includes tons of appearances by Phil, but I have no idea why he may have changed. And for this, its gotta be money and probably transportation.I think its a mistake to believe you know exactly (and only) what changes 'someone like phil'. I hate the fact that one person may be treated differently than others, but its a life fact and based on appearances that we are all witnessing, it looks like phils attitude has changed and only one thing changes someone like him - Getting something others don't. You may be right though.And to DN - I'm sorry, but even though you are on the show, you still may not know whats going on with others.
To me, that looked like the very first episode filmed. I mean, they are asking questions about rules and such.
But based on what I see, I can only assume that the first week appears to be phils first.
