Phil Hellmuth and Nick Palma have both been issued warnings by the floor after an expletive-filled verbal exchange on the penultimate night of the 2025 World Series of Poker.

The incident, which took place during the final hours of Day 1 of the $5,000 No-Limit Hold’em event, would see both players warned by tournament staff about their behavior and threatened with one round penalties.

As reported by PokerNews’Adam Lamers, tensions flared after Palma won a key flip against Lewis Spencer to climb near the top of the chip counts, arguing with the seventeen-time bracelet winner about his conduct at the table.

Palma, who is now one of the chip leaders of the $5,000 NLHE, would accuse Hellmuth of calling someone or many players "idiots" as he continued to needle the Poker Hall of Famer. Not long after, Hellmuth was eliminated when his royal flush draw missed against Julien Sitbon.

"Stop F***ing Talking to Me"

As reported, Palma would ask Hellmuth, "Are you the only one who can talk s**t about people?, prompting the Poker Brat to shout back, "Can you stop f*ing talking to me?"

Palma then appealed to the floor, saying, “I won a flip versus Lewis Spencer thanks to Phil, then he called us f***ing idiots. Can you give him a warning or a penalty?” Hellmuth, who had been wearing headphones, peeled them back and replied, “You haven’t stopped talking to me” in response.

"You haven't stopped talking to me!"

The floor stepped in and threatened both players with a one-round penalty if the argument continued. Palma would repeatedly press the floor, saying, “So does he get special treatment?” in reference to Hellmuth.

After multiple warnings, the verbal altercation eventually cooled off. However, Palma would take to the social media platform X to post his own recap of the incident, writing, "Lmao made Hellmuth cry then he left half a orbit."

He also included a photo of Hellmuth at the table, captioned "Philly is steamed lmao."
