The sudden appearance of Phil Hellmuth at the EPT London on Sunday came as quite a surprise to the railbirds considering the “Poker Brat” has only played a couple EPT events in the past. Hellmuth seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and it paid off when he entered and ultimately won the EPT London £2,000 Open Face Chinese tournament, which attracted 21 runners and created a prize pool of £42,680.

Joining Hellmuth in the tournament were well-known pros Dan O’Brien, Barry Greenstein, Jason Mercier and Daniel Weinman, just to name a few. The £15,800 first-place prize was pittance to a man that has won nearly $18 million in lifetime earnings, but Hellmuth was no doubt pleased to earn his first cash and title at a Europe-based EPT event.

Hellmuth will take another shot at EPT glory this afternoon here on Day 1b. Rest assured we'll be keeping an eye on the 13-time bracelet winner.
