I voted No, because a question like " Is he the best in that, in that? " the answer is always No, it's poker and not snooker or tennis where you might have a player who is always favorite in each of his match. However, if the question is " Is Phil Hellmuth's best game is NL Hold'em? " then surely I would have voted Yes.

to be honest i love watching him he just brings such entertainment to the table! also believe he is still one of the best players at the moment, for instance folding a high flush to a full house - his reading skill is sooo good, however saying that i havnt seen him at a final table recently so.....
i would say the new online generation peter eastgate, annette obrestrad, tom dwan etc are definately going to be the top players in a few years
my favourites to watch hav to be helmuth devilfish negreanu and roland de wolfe (mainly cos hes british lol)
------------ forgot to actually answer the question i would have to say no but cant fault his record!

I dont think Phil Hellmtuh or Daniel Negreanu ar at the top right now. Just see their last results, I mean Daniel has been playing horrible lately (last WSOP, and EPT) I think hasnt made a final table in a year or so. Maybe Elky is the new king of NLHE big field torunaments while on cash games i will say Durrr.

So the 300k win in Nov doesn't count? And Daniel ONLY won one bracelet at the WSOP this year so that equals a horrible run? Google is your friend, it makes fact checking so very easy...
