Phil Hellmuth (Seen Here in Earlier WSOP Play) Has Finally Arrived

Upholding his tradition of arriving to WSOP events at the last possible moment, Phil Hellmuth has just taken his seat to begin Day 1 with four levels of play already in the books.

While other players have already moved their stacks into the five-figure realm, Hellmuth has the original 4,500 starting stack to work with, which is good for 22.5 big blinds at the moment.

Although this strategy of forgoing a tournament's early stages is debatable, what is beyond dispute is Hellmuth's dominance over WSOP competition, and with a record-setting 13 gold bracelets to his credit already, nobody can question the "Poker Brat" and his remarkable ability to run a stack up in a hurry.
