Related Topics: Phil Hellmuth, Gunjan Banerji

Phil Hellmuth used his connections at the poker table to help push through a policy that could benefit America's youth.

Wall Street Journal journalist Gunjan Banerji reported on a story about the new "Trump accounts," a tax-advantaged savings account for children. The plan is part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBA), President Donald Trump's signature economic bill.

Trump accounts, a plan that is intended to help Americans get on their way to wealth at a young age, had strong support from Wall Street and Silicon Valley, thanks in part to an assist from Hellmuth, Banerji reports.
