Limits: 10,000-20,000

Phil Hellmuth predicted "fake news" Doug Polk would call him out for going back on his original world to skip the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event. It turns ou, he was right.

Polk released a YouTube video on Friday in which he bashed the Poker Hall of Famer for deleting a fan poll. Hellmuth said in February that he wouldn't play this year's Main Event, a tournament he won in 1989, due to the grueling structure not being conducive to older poker players.
