Top 10 Stories of 2011: #9, Second Place Goes to — Phil Hellmuth
If you were to tell any poker player in the world that they would amass $1.65 million in tournament prize money next year, they would ask to sign the dotted line — immediately. Well, in 2011, Phil Hellmuth did just that, making it the most profitable year of his career. Still, the self-proclaimed “Poker Brat” would probably trade every penny he’s made this past year for one simple thing.
A win.
Hellmuth painstakingly finished runner-up in three World Series of Poker events this summer, finished third and second in the Epic Poker League Event #2 Pro/Am and the Epic Poker League Event #2...
Great story ... if Phil H manages to completely shed the pokerbrat snake-skin ... when he does bag that 12th bracelet he will have a real fan base to rival the top players in poker such as Daniel Negreanu, etc.
