Winning his first career WSOP bracelet by defeating Johnny Chan heads-up in the 1989 WSOP Main Event, at 24 Phil Hellmuth became the youngest player at the time to win the Main Event, and sparked a legendary career that continues to this day.

With 17 career WSOP tournament victories, Phil Hellmuth is not only the all-time leader in bracelets but also one of the most recognized poker players in the world.

Even amongst non-players, if you were to ask someone to name a poker player, the odds are good they would say “Phil Hellmuth”.

Owning a temper nearly as famous as his poker acumen, Hellmuth’s tendency to curse over bad beats and angrily disparage opponents has earned him the nickname ‘The Poker Brat’.

Despite his reputation for having tirades at the poker table, Hellmuth’s fiery personality has made him beloved by many poker fans and garnered millions of views on YouTube.

To this day, Hellmuth continues his poker career while engaging in philanthropy and authorship. He has published multiple books about poker, poker strategy, and a healthy poker mindset. Hellmuth’s writings have been enjoyed by poker players around the world.

If you've ever watched the World Series of Poker and thought that could be me, you're not alone. Since 1970, the WSOP has been the place where that dream lives. Most people know the summer series in Las Vegas, where the $10,000 Main Event turns ordinary players into legends. But the WSOP calendar has grown well beyond that. WSOP Europe and WSOP Paradise now bring bracelet competition to international destinations, and dozens of Circuit events run year-round for players who want serious competition closer to home. Whether you're grinding a Circuit stop or taking your shot at the Main Event, the hardware means something. Winning a gold bracelet or Circuit ring is more than just a trophy. It's a permanent record that you are a champion. For players in Nevada, New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, WSOP Online has become something worth paying attention to. It's the only platform in the US where you can win a poker tournament for official WSOP gold bracelets without leaving home! The WSOP also offers deposit limits and self-exclusion tools because the best poker rooms have always known that keeping poker players healthy keeps the game healthy. From your first Circuit event to a final table in Las Vegas, WSOP is still where you go to prove something.
