Phil Hellmuth Poker Fan

Phil Hellmuth is leading the race to pick up the world player of the year title. Really though, Hellmuth may seem terribly obnoxious at times, but that’s only because he practically has the right to. This guy has won more WSOP bracelets in his lifetime than any other. Phil Hellmuth has had 81 cashes and has won over $11 million – that’s more than what anyone else in the industry can boast of. This guy’s no longer playing for the money folks. No, he has enough of that. What he wants are bracelets.

Phil Hellmuth attempted a major bluff at the recent poker tournament to the surprise of many. With only four players remaining and the blinds at $15,000/$30,000 plus a $5,000 per player ante, Mike, with $1.8 million in chips, opened for $70,000 under the gun with Ac-10d. Little-known pro Alan Sternberg, with $3.7 million in chips, made the call with 4-4 on the button.

The flop came Ks-9h-9c. Mike bet out $85,000 and got a call.

Phil Helmuth invited a number of poker stars to play in the Derby Poker Championship. Phil Hellmuth has a great generosity. Indeed, Phil Hellmuth continues to invest heavily in organizing various charity tournaments to fund charities. Last year, in partnership with Robert Williamson III, Hellmuth organized the tournament Derby Poker Championship, an event that gathered poker players, celebrities and top athletes from the city of Kentucky and recorded a huge success. One again, they decided this year to offer the second edition of the Derby Poker Championship on May 5, 2011.

Phil Hellmuth has spoken about his poker career and many other things in the recent interview that he gave on his website. On Phil Hellmuth’s website was this tweet from iconic actor/comedian Steve Martin who said, "I came to the poker tournament at the Golden Nugget because of Phil. He made my day."

It was a grand occasion in a wave of TV appearances for poker’s charismatic "bad boy," who has become the face of a sport that exploded on the national scene two decades ago with ESPN’s coverage of the World Series of Poker and shows no sign of slowing down.

Phil Hellmuth is having discussions with Fult Tilt poker as revealed by reports. There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding where Hellmuth would land after both he and Annie Duke announced their departures from long-term online home UB Poker (formerly Ultimate Bet).

Don’t feel too bad for UB; they somehow managed to snag Prahlad Friedman, arguably one of the top free agents available and a uniquely excellent signing given his connection to the cheating scandal that’s dogged the room (Friedman was one of the primary victims of the UB superuser scheme).

Phil Hellmuth is set to make his much awaited comeback to form in the latest poker tournament. Hellmuth says of the event, “I am looking forward to playing in the Premier League and starting the new decade off on the right note! After being points leader in the Premier League in 2006, 2007, and 2008 I was relegated, and it is time to step up and claim a title!”

Phil Hellmuth and Annie Duke have left Ultimate Bet after winning something. The exits of these two players are particularly noteworthy, in that they left at the end of the year and within a few hours of each other. Both, Annie Duke and Phil Hellmuth were some of the biggest players on the Ultimate Bet site and had helped to promote the brand to a great extent. However, this does not signify anything negative for either player as both of them have promising careers and are up for grabs by any reputed poker room out there.

Phil Hellmuth has given away 500 ebooks in an event recently. Hellmuth is the author of some of the most read poker books ever written, such as Play Poker Like the Pros and Read ’Em and Reap. His newest creation is a five-part compilation of eBooks titled, Phil Hellmuth’s Legendary Poker Hands.

Each 22+ page eBook includes five hands in five chapters, along with more than 15 easy to read images of the cards as they hit the table, as well as Hellmuth’s analysis.
