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.
