Over the past few years, Phil Hellmuth’s success at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) has often been celebrated. But a niggling voice around the fringes of the poker world has persisted: that the Poker Brat can only do it in big-field WSOP events.
In the online streets, Hellmuth can’t cut it, they say, before multiple cashes in WSOP Online events. In heads-up matches, there’s no way Big Phil is the Big Dog; the echo comes before Hellmuth goes 3-0 against his best frenemy, Daniel Negreanu, in High Stakes Duel.
And in High Rollers? Please.
