Hellmuth on First Take
Phil Hellmuth stopped by Bristol, Conn., yesterday to film a segment on ESPN's "First Take" with the show's host, Jay Crawford. The primary point of discussion was Hellmuth's ongoing transition away from "The Poker Brat."
Hellmuth did not moan senselessly about his wicked bad beat from the recent World Poker Tour final table, so it looks like he is off to a good start. We won't be convinced, however, until Hellmuth squares off against some Eastern Europeans and Internet players day in and day out at the World Series of Poker.
