Phil Hellmuth shared some juicy news with Daniel Negreanu involving an investment into America's future he helped propose with Senator Ted Cruz (R).
The conversation between the poker legends, recorded on Negreanu's phone, took place on Thursday at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP). Hellmuth is fresh off a third-place finish in Event #47: $2,500 Limit Omaha 8/Stud 8, narrowly missing out on his record-extending 18th bracelet. But on this day, he's talking politics.
