[FONT=&quot]Doyle Brunson has declared on Twitter that Phil Hellmuth is the greatest No Limit Holdem player in the world. The Texan legend holds no less than 10 WSOP gold bracelets and has been at the top of the game since before most poker players were even thought about by their parents, so he should know what he is talking about.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]It’s actually 162 WSOP cashes, and that is another record that Hellmuth holds on top of his 15 bracelets. Incredibly, his 11 runner-up finishes is also the best.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]This isn’t the first time that Brunson has heaped praise on the Poker Brat. Not that long ago a discussion came up on Twitter where Brunson explained how in this era of large field live events Hellmuth is the absolute master of dodging trouble against the weak recreational players.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]This is a fair point. There is still much debate over whether or not tournament players should attack every piece of EV on offer. Many players prefer to look at the bigger picture instead of chasing a microscopic edge and risking a healthy sized stack.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Phil Hellmuth navigates these huge fields well to regularly put himself in contention in the late stage.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Amazingly, however, he has never won a World Poker Tour title. Fourteen cashes worth almost $1.5 million is quite the compensation package though.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Much of the hate that goes Hellmuth’s way is down to his frequent outbursts at the table, but this has nothing to do with his ability. His unconventional strategies often attract a lot of criticism from the online world but live events are a totally different beast at heart.[/FONT]

He is one of the greatest ever but the poker world loves to see him lose because of his outbursts....even his fellow pros love to see him meltdown in the high roller tournaments...only other pro that most love to see lose is Tony G....

Before I got into the gambling business, I dealt a little poker back in the early 80’s...one of my dreams was to deal or play in the World Series of Poker when it was at the Horseshoe...the closest I got was to watch....

One of these days I'm going to play in the WSOP main event, just for the fun of it.

I remember walking through before poker was big. Went in the horseshoe and watched a little. My how Vegas has changed.

Phil Hellmuth Wins Record-Extending 17th World Series of Poker Bracelet​

July 02, 2023

Cottrell van WingerdenLive Reporter

​

According to those close to him, Phil Hellmuth has suffered a relatively frustrating 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP) despite recording nine cashes. All of that frustration melted away, however, after his tenth cash came with a record extending 17th WSOP bracelet win in Event #72: $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty. This victory only adds to arguably the greatest tournament poker resumé of all time that began in 1989 with Hellmuth's first bracelet in the Main Event.
As with all but three of his bracelets, his 17th victory came in the No-Limit Hold'em variant. The fast blind structure and bounty element drew a large field of 642 runners that generated a total prizepool of $4,044,600 with Hellmuth taking $803,818 plus bounties for the first place finish.
It was not the money, however, that meant the most to Hellmuth. Rather, the extension of his record seemed to be of greater value as it gives his proponents more reason to argue that he is one of the best to have ever played the game.
