Las Vegas, NV -- June 30, 2006 -- Phil Hellmuth, Jr. is the greatest poker player in the world. And if you don’t believe it, just ask him. Hellmuth reached a new milestone today when he became the first player in World Series of Poker history to reach “50” in-the-money finishes. With his 67th-place finish in an colossal field of 2,776 entries in the $1,500 buy-in no-limit hold’em event, Hellmuth eclipsed two longtime poker rivals – Berry Johnston and Men “the Master” Nguyen, each currently with “49” cashes.

Phil Hellmuth has clearly become an icon in a game full of icons. The 1989 World Series of Poker Champion has won a total of nine gold bracelets in his illustrious 17-year poker career. Incredibly, all of his WSOP wins are in the game of hold’em – the most of any player.
