Phil Hellmuth claims he won at least $11 Million in cash games

While everybody has already heard numerous times of Phil Hellmuth’s remarkable tournament record and his 15 WSOP bracelets, not many experts have considered him to be one of the most successful cash games players. However, this week, Hellmuth claimed that he has won more than $11 million in cash games. 

Phil Hellmuth claims he won at least $11 Million in cash games

Phil Hellmuth – King of Tournaments and Cash Games?

Everything started with a tweet by Phil Hellmuth in which he claimed that he is one of the all-time greatest poker players.

Even though the Poker Brat admitted that he might not be the best player in the world, he considers his records to be GOAT status-worthy.

His upcoming heads up opponent Daniel Negreanu was one of the first persons to respond to Hellmuth’s claims:

A Twitter user replied that Hellmuth was the best tournament player in history in terms of WSOP bracelets and Negreanu agreed that he holds the best WSOP record in the world.

But he highly doubts that Phil is the best tournament player in the world at the moment.

It didn’t take the Poker Brat to respond to his long-time friend Negreanu:

That’s basically when things started getting a little more heated. Phil’s claim that he made more than $11 million in cash games sounds a little exaggerated.

Therefore, Negreanu quickly replied and expressed his doubts regarding Hellmuth’s status of being WAY ahead in high rollers.

Daniel clearly stated that he has a lot of respect for Phil’s tournament record, but he doesn’t consider him to be a good high rollers player.

Negreanu does certainly have a point doubting the Poker Brat’s $11 million winnings in cash games. We have already discussed his cash game record previously, and it’s rather difficult to find actual proof for his claims.

Especially the fact that he basically has not been playing poker online in the past makes it even more difficult to track down his cash game success.

Therefore, you have to rely mostly on his appearances in cash games that have been televised. His most recent plays in the latest series of High Stakes Poker have also been not too impressive.

It’s certainly going to be an interesting match between Negreanu and Hellmuth even though the duel has been postponed, unfortunately.
