Phil Hellmuth is best known for winning 11 WSOP bracelets.  In
  1989 he won the WSOP Main Event, defeating the winner of
  the main event in the previous two years, poker legend Johnny
  Chan.  At the time this made Hellmuth the youngest player to
  ever win the main event, at the age of 24.  This record stood
  for almost 20 years when Peter Eastgate won the 2008 main
  event at the age of 22.

  At the 2006 WSOP Hellmuth captured his record 10th WSOP
  bracelet in the 1,000$ No Limit Hold Em with rebuys event. At
  the time this tied him with Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson,
  although all of Hellmuth's bracelets were in Texas Hold Em,
  whereas Chan and Brunson had one or more in Omaha.

  At the 2007 WSOP Hellmuth won his record breaking 11th
  bracelet in the 1,500$ No Limit Hold Em event.  Hellmuth also
  holds the record for the most WSOP cashes, 68, and most
  WSOP final tables, 41, recently overtaking TJ Cloutier.

  At the 2008 WSOP main event Hellmuth finished well, placing
  45th, and taking home 154,400$.  Hellmuth has won
  6,019,000$ in WSOP prize money and ranks 8th on the all time
  winners list.

  Hellmuth has not yet won a WPT title.  He has cashed in the
  money ten times at WPT events.  To date Hellmuth has won
  691,000$ in WPT event prize money.  His biggest single cash
  at a WPT event was finishing sixth at the 2008 LA Poker
  Classic, a prize worth 229,480$.
