PHIL HELLMUTH JR

POKER PLAYER:
Phil Hellmuth Jr

NICKNAME:
Poker Brat

POKER STYLE:
Maniac

FELT ACCESSORIES:
Dark glasses and cap, headphones. Phil believes some shirts are lucky, depending on the colour. White shirts are to be avoided apparently!

TABLE MANNERS:
Ranting, berrating opponents, egotistical, splashing the pot with extreme raises, making dealers cry.

POKER BLING:
A blingtastic 11 WSOP bracelets and place in the Poker Hall of Fame. Famous for noisy stunts at the WSOP events, one entrance included him arriving in an army jeep with 11 hot chicks representing each of his WSOP bracelets. He’s not afraid of merchandising either – 2008 WSOP beer sponsor Milwaukee’s Best plastered his face over a reported 12m cans.

RUMOUR HAS IT:
Phil’s bad behaviour regularly lands him in trouble with reports of him sporting black eyes and a mashed up nose on certain occassions. His bravado also saw him crash the promotional UltimateBet race car into the Rio in Las Vegas in the WSOP ‘07.

FAMOUS PROP BETS:
Hellmuth bet former World Series champ, Huck Seed, $50,000 that he couldn’t stand in the sea up to shoulder height for 18 hours. Huck accepted but only lasted 3 hours.
