A Poker Symphony: Hellmuth's Ninth
By Nolan Dalla
"I'm just honored to be mentioned in the same breath as Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson."
-- Phil Hellmuth, Jr. (after winning gold bracelet number nine)
If the highs and lows of tournament poker were set to music, Phil Hellmuth would be a symphony orchestra all by himself. Over the years, Hellmuth has hit the highest notes achievable by a poker player -- including winning the world championship in 1989, and three gold bracelets all won in a single year (1993). He has also hit a few sour notes along the way, going through dry spells that made some observers question whether or not he still has what it takes to win. Any doubters still questioning Hellmuth's abilities or commitment to winning were silenced at this year's World Series of Poker, as the self-described "Poker Brat" has now won two titles -- which now brings his career World Series of Poker wins up to nine, equal to two other poker legends, Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson.
Although Hellmuth started off with a sizable chip lead at the final table, he was "all-in" midway through the finale and perilously close to the felt at one point. He won his one single flirtation with elimination, in a key hand heads-up with Erik Seidel. He went on from there to draw back to even in chips and ultimately would go on to win his record-ninth Texas hold'em title
