Phil Hellmuth & Son Both Kicking Along on Day 2 of WSOP Main Event
For all-time bracelet leader Phil Hellmuth, it all started with a victory in the 1989 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, a year before the birth of his son Phillip Hellmuth III. Now at the 2025 WSOP, both Hellmuths are searching for a world championship on Day 2abc of the $10,000 WSOP Main Event as Hellmuth III makes his Main Event debut.
Before he was moved to the feature table, the elder Hellmuth found himself in the back corner of the Horseshoe Ballroom, while his son sat on the other side of the room in the same Blue section. Both are wearing Aria hoodies, but only one is blowing up at his opponents.
