"Bad Boy of Poker" Phil Hellmuth celebrated his 50th anniversary in 2014 and has won World Series of Poker bracelets in all of the past FOUR decades. He owns a record 13 bracelets and is equally unsurpassed by number of in-the-money finishes and final tables in the World Series. He was inducted in the Poker Hall of Fame in 2007. Hellmuth's explosive personality has earned him the nickname "The Poker Brat". He was the youngest player to win the WSOP Main Event at the age of 24 in 1989. With a total of 18,000,000 dollars in live tournament winnings, he ranks seventh in the all-time money list.
