It's also great to see Juha HU against Hellmuth. For those that don't know/remember/care Juha was/is an online player that won the first UB Aruba event. He defeated all the amateurs to earn the right to go HU against the winner of the 'Pro' division (can't remember if it was Hellmuth or Gordon he went up against. I remember it was a Phil).
I think this episode was the very first episode of WPT that I watched and, ultimately (pardon the pun), was what got me started playing online poker after I downloaded the UB client. |

congrats Phil...
Hellmuth is probable the greatest holdem tourney player ever... 10 bracelets, all in holdem, doesnt get any better than that. I also see him going deep in the ME as well, he has been playing through these bigger fields very well this year. The other fields are nothing compared to the ME field but still... |

I'm going to disagree with the "greatest holdem tourney player" ever comment. I'm fairly certain that if the big game players (ivey, greenstein, etc.) basically dedicated themselves to solely playing NLHE tournaments (like Hellmuth), they would probably have a more impressive resume than Hellmuth would.

I would agree with Ivey on that comment...
Phil Ivey could be the greatest poker player ever period when it is all said and done. thats why I said tournament player, if this was cash games Hellmuth would be at the bottom of my list |
