Phil Hellmuth Claims He Is Better at Texas Hold’em than Phil Ivey

Phil Hellmuth and Daniel Negreanu have been arguing over the Poker Brat’s status as the best No-Limit Texas Holdem player of all-time on Poker After Dark. Allen Kessler posted a tweeted showing the exchange where Hellmuth says he is better than the G.O.A.T Phil Ivey.

Is Phil Hellmuth Better at Texas Hold’em than Phil Ivey?

When Phil Hellmuth appears to ask a rhetorical question about what Ivey himself would say, Daniel Negreanu replies that he is an old-time hustler and would never feed his ego by claiming to be the best himself.

The Canadian even goes one further and tells Phil Hellmuth that he isn’t better at anything than Phil Ivey except self-promotion. Ouch! He added:

“Phil Ivey would mash you in every other format! And there are even other examples.”

The Poll Shows a very Different Result

It isn’t likely going to be a surprise to many in the poker world to hear that Allen Kessler’s poll showed that the vast majority think that Phil Ivey is the better NL Texas hold’em player.

However, there were a surprising number of tweets put out in support of Phil Hellmuth, seemingly all going by his position as the WSOP bracelet record holder.

It’s maybe worth considering what Daniel Negreanu really thinks in this situation. Was he just trying to rile Phil Hellmuth up and get him emotional in front of the cameras?

Hellmuth doesn’t need much motivation to start one of his trademark rants when there’s viewers watching. Check out the video below for a typical example.
