High Stakes Entertainment - Players

As famous for his antics at the poker table and bad beat tirades as he is for his incredible record as a tournament player, Phil Hellmuth Jr. will always be known as the Poker Brat. A living legend, Hellmuth joined Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson in 2006 as one of only three poker players in history with ten WSOP bracelets to their names. But what separates Hellmuth from even this legendary pack is that all of his WSOP wins have come in Texas Hold’em events - that and a record 11th bracelet in No-Limit Hold'em won by the Poker Brat at the 2007 Series. He also holds the distinction of being the youngest man to win the WSOP Main Event after beating two-time defending champion Johnny Chan in 1989 at just 24 years old. He is one of the best poker players in the world, just ask him. In 1996 Hellmuth’s professional poker playing peers voted him the best No-Limit Hold’em tournament player in the world and while many professionals lament his antics at the table, there is no doubt he’s earned their respect as a player and a person. Hellmuth has said he wants to be known as the greatest poker player of all time, in his own mind he’s already there.
