While Bonetti is truly a of poker legend unfortunately he was not well liked by players who knew him only at the tables, where he was infamous for dealer abuse, brash table antics and an otherwise miserable persona. Those who knew him outside poker will describe him differently. In a CardPlayer.com article released today his good friend Phil Hellmuth mention Bonetti as having a Heart of Gold, and regarding his actions at the table Hellmuth says "He wanted to win more than you did, period".
With three bracelets and more then a handful of WSOP cashes, Bonetti's stats will show a poker star dimming light, but it is difficult to shine a light on a person who actually received cheers upon his death by the very people who toss those winning cards to him.
