You can call him Phillip, or you can call him Phil, but however you greet him you'll have to look up to say hi, because the 6'5" Madison, Wisconsin-born Phil Hellmuth, Jr., stands on a stack of poker and life achievements that make him the envy of poker players and non-players alike. Known both for his lightning skill and his sometimes unpredictable theatrics, Hellmuth has been called the "Michael Jordan of poker" and the "John McEnroe of cards."
Phil's stated career goal is to become the best poker player of all time. With nine World Series of Poker victories, four Hall of Fame titles, and more than fifty tournament titles, Hellmuth is well on his way to cementing his poker legacy, one that began shortly after his graduation from the University of Wisconsin. His parade of achievements began in 1989, at the age of 24, with his first World Series of Poker title. The youngest person to ever accomplish such a feat, he took home an astounding $775,000. This "wunderkid" has since amassed dozens of major tournament wins internationally, including wins at the World's Biggest Seven-card Stud Tournament in Vienna at Casinos Austria, the Poker EM "European Champion," (2000), and Late Night Poker III Champion in Great Britain (2000). Added to his list of titles is also the 1995 Hall of Fame Championship Event. After all of his success it is no surprise that in 1996, Hellmuth's poker-playing peers voted him the "best all-around tournament poker player in the word." Oakley eyewear and EA Sports call him a "poker icon." In fact, Oakley is planning to release a Phil Hellmuth signature sunglass line – one of seven in their history along with Michael Jordan, and Lance Armstrong.
