Shaun Deeb Says Phil Hellmuth Will Never Win Another WSOP Bracelet
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth, the record-holder, is done winning World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, so says Shaun Deeb.
Deeb told WSOP reporter Jeff Platt on Monday that not only does he believe the "Poker Brat" won't one day capture his 18th bracelet, he also gave himself a solid chance of eventually surpassing Hellmuth.
PokerNews caught up with Hellmuth on Tuesday at the World Series of Poker Paradise (WSOPP) series in the Bahamas to get his thoughts on Deeb's comments. He took issue what the reigning WSOP Player of the Year had to say, and suggested that, "he was trolling me." But he then said, "he might not have been."
