Hellmuth, Jr., Seat 5
Phil Hellmuth, Jr., is a 37 year-old professional poker player from
Palo Alto, California. No stranger to the winners' circle or poker
tournaments, he bought into this event for $8,000 and made it to
the final nine with a chip count of $227,000. He went on to take
third place in the event. He has been playing poker for 18 years
and his hobbies, other than poker, include golf, running, and the
role of family man. He has two great kids with his wife, Kathy.
They are Phillip, 11, and Nick, 8. Phil has seven World Series of
Poker bracelets including the 1989 main event where he won $750,000.
All of his WSOP victories are in his favorite game; hold'em. It
is no wonder he did so well here at the PartyPoker Million! When
asked about the PPM he said "I love it!!! I'll be back, Mike
Sexton and company have done it again!" Next photo | Return to Gallery Photo © 2002, Jan Fisher |
