Phil Hellmuth is a professional poker player who has captured a record fourteen World Series of Poker bracelets. Just after finishing Poker Night in America cash game session in Choctaw, Oklahoma that we played together, I did an interview with him about poker strategy and other stuff that make them one of the best in the word when it comes to poker. Phil Hellmuth is the winner of the Main Event of the 1989 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the Main Event of the 2012 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE), and he is a member of the WSOP's Poker Hall of Fame. Hellmuth is also known for his temperamental "poker brat" personality. As of 2016, his total live tournament winnings exceed $19,300,000. He is ranked seventh on the all-time money list. Phil Hellmuth is known for usually taking his seat at poker tournaments long after they begin. As of March 2015, Hellmuth has won over $12,000,000 at the WSOP and ranks fourth on the WSOP All Time Money List, behind Antonio Esfandiari, Daniel Colman, and Daniel Negreanu. Hellmuth also is tied for fifth all time in number of times cashed in the WSOP Main Event. He has seven Main Event cashes (1988, 1989, 1997, 2001, 2003, 2008, and 2009), placing him behind Berry Johnston (10), and Humberto Brenes, Doyle Brunson, and Bobby Baldwin (9). Twelve of Hellmuth's fourteen bracelets have been in Texas hold'em, though he has had quite a bit of success in non-hold'em events. As of the start of the 2015 World Series, 22 of his 52 final tables are for a variety of games, including 2-7 Lowball, Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo, Seven Card Razz, and Omaha hold'em (Pot Limit, Limit, and Hi-Lo), as well as mixed games like H.O.R.S.E and the Poker Player's Championship; his first-ever WSOP final table (and first-ever WSOP cash) was in Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo in 1988, and his second-ever WSOP final table (and third-ever WSOP cash) was in Pot Limit Omaha hold'em w/Rebuys in 1989. (His third-ever WSOP final table (and fifth-ever WSOP cash) was his Main Event victory in 1989.) Of those 22 events, Hellmuth has finished runner-up six times. ---- Poker is your thing?
