Hellmuth Announces he is Not Playing 2025 WSOP Main Event [Resolved]
Poker superstar says he’ll skip WSOP Main Event: ‘It’s just exhausting’.

LOL
And my point was obvious. Not having to cover living expenses means a poker player will have more money, and go broke infintessimally more often.
What would you guess the annual value of her compensation package is, $400K? 500? Have they ever spent a dime on medical dental vision for themselves or their kids? Or tuition K thru college?
How many of their longtime neighbors & kids’ classmates’ parents are worth over $200M? Or much higher? Are any of those classmates now billionaires?
How close is their house to the campus and how much has it appreciated since they bought it? (Property taxes likely brutal but still)
And Phil’s probably been the biggest celebrity at 90% of those neighborhood BBQs, faculty dinners and school graduation lunches.
Horrible failure if they’re not worth nine figures.
He will tell the 2+2 community asked him to.
Why would anyone go to a psychiatrist who decided to spend her own personal life living with Phil Hellmuth?
Hes playing hu vs galfond right now! come watch.
Man, that's some good Irony. No to a soft donkament, Yes to HU with GALFOND.
One of the few marriages that can match the Clintons in the “don’t know, don’t want to know” derby.
Makes sense from Helmuth's perspective. He's a poker player, always chasing EV.
He did the math. Marrying her was just cheaper than paying for all the therapy he needed.

Pretty sure they met as undergrads at UW but yeah, it was jawdropping when it came out he’d married a psychiatrist.
Might be the GOAT marriage from a financial perspective considering where her career path led.
again, WSOP ME is absolutely fine as is nothing needs changed.if anything the championship events should dbe 1 and done
Yep, other than maybe 2-7 & PLO, out of tradition. The ME was designed to be a huge mental grind, this has been written about for over forty years. IMO it looks like Phil just got up cranky and wanted some attention. FWIW two of the very worst meltdowns deep in
Grunch but don't forget about 23 or 24yo Billy Kopp. I mean shit you can get tired playing an 8 hour online event, forget about a 5-6 day event. I'm telling ya, just go down a bit in chips. But then they'd have to adjust the other events on order to compensate for the other events to keep the ME the most prestigious but also keeping some of those events deep stacked.
Phew, what a relief!
It was touch and go there for awhile.
"Phil Hellmuth Will Play the 2025 World Series of Poker Main Event After All"
Phil Hellmuth announced on X, after viewing the fan's polling, that he will indeed play the 2025 WSOP Main Event in July.
He's gonna play, because the fan's demanded it.
Getting into the money would be a big win.
What is Phil Hellmuth like to play with in person? Can you give us a story or scenario so we can gauge how he is?

Played for a bit in a cash game with him last year. He was just like you see on TV. Talking about how great he is etc. very friendly to everyone though

Are Phil Laak and Jennifer Tilly still together?
Phil is being too needy in this instance. Man up Phil no excuses. I never heard a strong player like jason Koon make excuses. Phil you been playing for decades sir why can't you adjust to the game or just not complain? Phil you have a tournament that you have an edge in and you still complain? How can you be one of the best and complain about the main event? Phil this is unacceptable.
In one of DNEGS vlogs he ran into phil, phil was at a table, daniel was going to his. This was right after Phil had posted the poll. He mentioned to Phil that now it looks like he needs to play per the results.
Phil said something about needing a break before/after day 6 or whatever, daniel replied with when was the last time you even made day 3?
Phil started to rant about something and daniel just kept asking, phil when was the last time you made day 3? Phil ignored it and kept ranting, was pretty funny.
Hes right though. What reason do you even have to bitch when you never run deep? And seriously, id i make day 6 in the main, im so amped up id not care....you just understand you're tired but you move on. At 60 I understand its worse but there's not a solution unless you have a problem.
Just classic phil wanting to become center of attention and see if he was still powerful enough in the community to get a rule changed.

Of course Dnegs is right Helmuth hasn't run deep in the main in ages.
And you're right PH is an attention whore. I would have bet a lot of money at even money he'd play the main when he first said he wasn't playing.
