Attempting to make a living playing poker professionally isn't easy when your dad is one of the greatest in the history of the game.

But that's exactly what Nicholas Hellmuth is doing, as he competes in the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP). The youngest son of 17-time bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth entered Day 2a of Event #34: $500 COLOSSUS on Thursday.

PokerNews caught up with the 23-year-old son of a legend to find out if he plans to follow in his father's footsteps, and just how much the "Poker Brat's" persona has rubbed off on him.
