Phil Hellmuth Shines Among Top 10 Players by All-Time Combined WSOP Earnings

With the WSOP National Championship just finished in Atlantic City (congrats, @Dominik Nitsche!) and the 45th Annual World Series of Poker about to kick off in Vegas, we take a look at the top ten players by all-time combined #WSOP earnings (Circuit and Series):

Seven of the top ten are main event winners and the bulk of their WSOP earnings come from a single cash;

Two (@Antonio Esfandiari and @Sam Trickett) owe their position to enormous cashes in the 2012 Big One for One Drop, and

One is an impressively consistent player (and winner!) with an amazing number of 102 ITM finishes in WSOP over the 26 years since he first cashed in a WSOP event (1988) - the outrageous and yet immensely popular @Phil Hellmuth!

This year, the 'Bad Boy of Poker' celebrates his 50th birthday and the 25th anniversary since he won a WSOP Main Event in 1989 (and the first of his 13 bracelets), and we hope he will remain as scandalously entertaining and successful for at least another 25 years!

"My 50th birthday is this summer, my 25th wedding anniversary is coming up, and of course, my 25th anniversary of winning the main event. Oh my goodness!"
