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.

2-7 Triple Draw
Amir Nematinia raised from the cutoff and Patrick Stacey called on the button with William Mical in the small blind and Nicholas Pupillo in the big blind coming along.
Mical, Nematinia, and Stacey all drew two while Pupillo drew three and action checked around to Nematinia who bet and everyone called.
On the second draw, Mical stood pat while Pupillo drew three and Nematinia and Stacey drew one each.
After action checked around on the prior betting street, everyone drew identically to the last draw and action checked around to Stacey who bet and only Mical called.
"Eight six," said Stacey as he turned over 8x6x5x4x3x and Mical quickly mucked, ceding the pot to Stacey.
