This guy has always been great player. One of those that you watch and admire. I'm pretty sure he'll be able to win couple of more times. He'll strengthen his place in hall of fame as one of the greatest of all time.

It is always like that, a player of that magnitude will be everywhere, a player who is always present in the big tournaments, also present at the final tables and with 17 bracelets on his shoulders, a crazy results he has had.

Phil Hellmuth is already in the Poker Hall of Fame since 2007, but not everyone knows how to check this. It was impossible for a player like him not to be there, because he has notable results in Poker for a long time.

Yeah . It is very probable . He is in good shape , he might not have the modern GTO strategy and background of other well known players , but still he is doing fine . He has strategy . Good bankroll . Supporters and sponsors . I think 20 bracelets is the maximum number of bracelets he might be able to get . Even this 20 is hard . But 24 ?? No , far too optimistic this 24 total lifetime bracelets seems to be . Not impossible , but far too optimistic .

Phil Hellmuth will play seriously to win 20 bracelets and he is capable of this. He chooses which game he wants to play at the WSOP anyway, but this is also based on his own talents.

for sure he will win more bracelets, this player always has that winning mentality and that is the most important thing for the results to come, many years playing at a high level is not luck.

it's not luck, normally because poker is based more on talent, not luck, and that's why many don't know how to perform well. It's nice to be successful live and less online. The first makes you a great player, but with the second you have situations where always lose because of the software...

the results will always come when we strive to achieve what we want, this player is an example of how you can get what you dream from a young age, this man has achieved and can continue to break records in poker.

Phill Hellmuth is a player who has had no scandals in poker and this is very nice in his career. I have not heard of him cheating and doing what is not good. It's a good thing

Then you are living under a rock. He is known as the "poker brat" for a reason, or two, or more. He also was the face of the Ultimate Bet poker room, when it was involved in a major cheating scandal in the late 2000nds.
