Phil Hellmuth Wins US Poker Open Event #5: $10,000 NLH for $211K w/ Straight Flush

Phil Hellmuth has continually proven his doubters wrong in tournament play, and again did so on Wednesday afternoon when he took down the PokerGO Tour (PGT) US Poker Open Event #5: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $211,200.

The 16-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, arguably the best tournament player ever, defeated Jeremy Ausmus, one of the top high rollers in the game today, heads-up to ship the trophy. In doing so, he hit $28,660,000 in career live tournament cashes, according to Hendon Mob.
