Since recording this episode back in 2018, Phil Hellmuth has won two more World Series of Poker Championships increasing his total to 17. When we talked to him, he was already well ahead of all other players in the history of the game. He has now further distanced himself from the competition easily answering the question of who is the greatest tournament poker player of all-time. This was one of our all-time most listened to interviews and we hope you enjoy listening to the "Poker Brat" as much as we enjoyed talking with him. See the show notes below ...
ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES
Nobody has won more World Series of Poker championships than Phil Hellmuth Jr. He won his 15th WSOP Bracelet in the summer of 2018, which puts him far ahead of Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan, and Doyle Brunson (who all have 10 bracelets). Hellmuth also holds the record for most cash finishes and most final table appearances at the World Series of Poker. In 1989, the 24-year old Hellmuth became the youngest person ever to win the WSOP Main Event when he defeated legendary Johnny Chan. “The Poker” Brat as he is known for his colorful and competitive personality, was elected to the Poker Hall of Fame in 2007. He has also written a New York Times best-seller (“Play Poker Like the Pros”), as well as his autobiography (“Poker Brat”). Hellmuth also is very active in raising funds for charities. He has raised more than $50 million in his lifetime for charitable causes and organizations.
