About
The most decorated player in WSOP history with a record 17 bracelets, Hellmuth earned the nickname 'The Poker Brat' for his theatrical, expletive-laced tirades after bad beats. He became the youngest Main Event champion ever at age 24 in 1989 and is the only player to win a bracelet in five different decades.
