When the discussion of legendary poker players comes up, there are many names that come to mind.  Names such as Johnny Chan and Jamie Gold, both of whom have won the World Series of poker tournament.  But there are only a few names that are as well recognized and as well-respected as the record-setting 11 time winner of the World Series of poker tournament, Phil Hellmuth.  On top of him winning 11 times at the World Series of poker tournament World Series and bringing home the bracelet for the main event, Hellmuth has won all 11 of his titles in the Texas Hold’em poker event, a level of success that few have ever dreamed of.  The concept of winning even once at the World Series of poker tournament in Las Vegas is beyond the wildest dreams of many, but to win 11 times is simply beyond the realm of possibility for most people.  In the case of Phil Hellmuth, it is obvious that his incredible skill level has elevated him to a level that most players can never dream of.  Among the pantheon of Texas Hold’em poker tournament Gods, Phil Hellmuth stands at the very top, wearing the crown as the 11 time winner of the World Series of poker tournament championship.

Known as the youngest player to ever win the World Series of poker main event in 1989 at the age of 24, Phil Hellmuth, referred to as the Poker brat for his young age and his legendarily wild antics at the poker table, has developed a reputation as being somewhat volatile and reacting poorly to bad beats.  Fortunately, despite this behavior, the level of popularity and exposure for Phil Hellmuth, the young Texas Hold’em poker tournament champion, has only risen, as these antics have actually brought him more fame and notoriety than if he had not engaged in this type of behavior at the Texas Hold’em poker tournament tables.  Considering the tremendous amounts of money that the 11 time World Series of poker tournament in Las Vegas winner has won, it is easy to believe that the legendary player has very little to concern himself about as far as finances.  In fact, it would be fair to say that Hellmuth very likely has generated more winnings than most players can ever dream about in their entire lives, simply by competing in the world famous World Series of poker tournament in Las Vegas and winning so many times.
