There are many that would agree Phil Hellmuth is the G.O.A.T. of the World Series of Poker (WSOP), but one person says otherwise.
Bryn Kenney, who holds the record for live tournament cashes at $67 million, appeared on the Digital Social Hour Podcast with Sean Kelly.

Phil Hellmuth could be a good player but in the minor leagues, in the major leagues I think he is not, although he has won many bracelets that does not make him better, you have to compete with the best to know who is the best.

He could try, but his winnings and his bracelets are unmatched by anyone in the major leagues or whatever. He outranks these players in this list and they don't enjoy the popularity and the money he has. Few have surpassed Phil in winnings.

In winnings and bracelets I think Phil Hellmuth has the lead, but if he played against the great players from around the world, that is always where he would draw a conclusion about how good he is at playing high-level poker, everyone will have their opinions.

Sometimes we think we are the best until one of the big games comes along and tells you the truth about where you stand. I hope Phil can see this as an internal challenge and play big tournaments and show that he can also compete with the best in the world.

Of course yes, and this should be a motivation for him and demonstrate in the big leagues, there will be a face to face with Kenedy, it would be great to see the two of them play in a head to head game of high level poker, and there they get the You doubt who is better.

In my opinion, Kenney is probably the best poker player today being the one with the most profits in tournaments worldwide. However, I think that he is wrong in this comment since the WSOP Series is the most prestigious and important event that any poker player in the world, whether professional or recreational, would like to attend and therefore I consider that the player who has been capable of lifting such a trophy more times unlike his rivals is the G.O.A.T.

i would love to see a few games with both players and how well they play at the poker table. It would really be something very interesting for us and the best of 11 or 15 games, could bring a lot of people to watch a ''duel'' between them.
