Phil Hellmuth - Biography
Phillip Jerome Hellmuth, Jr. (born July 16, 1964) is an American professional poker player who has captured a record fourteen World Series of Poker bracelets. He is the winner of the Main Event of the 1989 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and the Main Event of the 2012 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE), and he is a member of the WSOP's Poker Hall of Fame. Hellmuth is also known for his temperamental "poker brat" personality.
At the 1993 World Series of Poker, Hellmuth became the second player in WSOP history to win three bracelets in one WSOP. (Walter "Puggy" Pearson was the first to do so in 1973; one of those bracelets was for winning the Main Event.) Hellmuth's three victories came in three consecutive days; incredibly, Ted Forrest also won three bracelets in three consecutive days at the 1993 WSOP to become the third player in WSOP history to win three bracelets in one WSOP.
Hellmuth has cashed 14 times and made five final tables on the World Poker Tour. He finished in fourth place in the $3,000 No Limit Hold'em WPT Event at the 49'er Gold Rush Bonanza in 2002, in third place in the $10,000 No Limit Hold'em Event at the World Poker Finals at Foxwoods in 2003, in sixth place at the 2008 L.A. Poker Classic, in third place at the Bay 101 Shooting Star event in 2010, and second place in 2017 at the Bicycle Casino. In 2010 he also was the TV bubble boy finishing seventh at the $25,000 WPT World Championship. As of 2017, Hellmuth had won $1,456,065 in WPT tournaments.
Since 1992, he has lived in Palo Alto, California with his wife, Katherine Sanborn, who is a psychiatrist at Stanford University, and their two sons, Phillip III and Nicholas.
