On July 2 Sunday, at the Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas, Phil Hellmuth has done it again.
People who closely knew him said that he was initially frustrated in this year's WSOP, despite getting nine cashes already.

I will never get tired of commenting on how good this player is, it seems that he is one of the poker professionals, but he has something very special and that makes him unique, with the amount of bracelets he owns makes him very different.

$ 10.000 , a very high buy in , then it's super turbo format , blinds to up very fast , but at least there is a bounty , that's sth important . If I ever played such an expensive event , I would like it to be a bounty kind of , so at to get some of my investment back before the bubble . Anyway I think it was a good game for Helmuth , he took advantage of these characteristics and he won

it is not a big buy for a player like Phil Hellmuth. He is ok with high stakes and this game suits him quite well. Here we see once again his professionalism at Super Turbo...

for us is a lot of money an entry of 10k, but for this professional player is not, they have millions of profits playing poker, even if they go through a bad streak they have enough bankroll to keep playing, plus hellmuth is a great player.

That's right, most of the players who are just starting out, their dream is always to play the biggest poker tournaments, as well as to be in the center of the poker world like the wsop world championship.

to become what he is he has had to have dreams and short and long term goals in poker, when you project and work hard to achieve dreams can become a reality, many congratulations to this player.

I once saw in a head to head poker game against another aggressive player, he couldn't control himself and started to get tilted very soon because of two hands that didn't work out, I think that despite being a great player there are things that he should improve.

those players thought they could get away without being caught, even though they cheated, stole or swindled. It's sad, but that's how people are, even if many were professionals. Phil Hellmuth is ok from this point of view. He had a good career and did not make illegalities.

He is a great player, but as we all always have our weaknesses, this one in particular gets frustrated very quickly when things don't work out, that's why if he would improve that aspect he would be much better.
