Hellmuth: I am not the Poker Brat

2010-02-19 15:02:28

Phil Hellmuth has denied that he is anything like his poker persona in his spare time.

According to World Series of Poker (WSOP) main event winner, writing for his official website's blog, the image he gives off at the table as the Poker Brat is completely different to the one his friends and family see.

He said: "Phil Hellmuth is a very different animal then the Poker Brat is … Within the poker world I am well liked by almost every insider."

The card sharp noted that he is considered honest, compassionate and will often spend his time raising money for charity.

Hellmuth likened his personality change at the felt to John McEnroe's infamous rants on the tennis court during his playing days.

Holding 11 WSOP bracelets, he overtook Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson - who both have ten - in 2007 by winning the $1,500 no-limit hold'em event.
