No Focus in New Orleans - Phil Hellmuth
While filming CPS (Celebrity Poker Showdown) in New Orleans recently, I had some free time and stopped by Harrah's poker room to hang out. I say "hang out" because whatever it was that I did there, I would not exactly want to call it playing poker.
The WPT in My Backyard - Phil Hellmuth
Not so long ago, another WPT (World Poker Tour) Championship hit San Jose, California, right in my backyard. It was pretty nice driving just 20 minutes from my home to the Bay 101 card club to play in a WPT event. Unfortunately, I would be leaving Bay 101 on day one, with a bad taste in my mouth.
Food fine, but win fortunate - Phil Hellmuth
I would like to tell you that it was smooth sailing for the rest of the day (we played until 9 p.m.), but the following two hands tell a different story. At around 7:30 p.m., I picked up pocket aces, and decided to play a big pot. Too often lately, I have been playing small pots with pocket aces or pocket kings, and this has been hurting my chances of winning.
Traniello and the Big Game - Phil Hellmuth
It was during the Hold'em part of the mix that I looked down at pocket kings and made it $4,000 to go in late position. Traniello made it $6,000 to go from the small blind with her pocket aces, and I called. I merely called her reraise--instead of raising it again--to disguise the strength of my hand. Why make it $8,000 to go and alert Traniello that I had a huge hand?
Win your way in! - Phil Hellmuth
In the UltimateBet.net Poker Challenge lll Finals, shown Final Four weekend on FSN (Fox Sports Net), six players had a crack at the $200,000 first-place prize, but second place was a whole lot of nothing. Thirty-one players had won their way into the televised tournament through a free promotion at UltimateBet.net, and none of them was used to playing poker for more than a few dollars.
Chad Blackburn Remembers - Phil Hellmuth
My old friend Chad Blackburn, who now works as a poker dealer at Canterbury Park Card Room near Minneapolis, Min, recalls the following four interesting hands from the old days.
2004 WSOP Eliminations II - Phil Hellmuth

2004 WSOP Eliminations - Phil Hellmuth
Almost every great 'known' player fell along the way at the 2004 WSOP (World Series of Poker) final table, these are a few of their stories.
The 2004 WSOP - Phil Hellmuth
Here is a taste of my WSOP run in 2004 -- brace yourself for some bad beats. Day 1 I just seem to lose pot after pot and I'm down to $4,175 on the first break. I'm almost in tears as I call my parents at the break, but they pump me up, and I come out smoking after the break and get back to $10,000.
Two Black Nines: Layne style - Phil Hellmuth
It was the 2002 WSOP (World Series of Poker). I had won the first no limit tournament which had 628 or so players in it. The talk was, "Oh Layne won another no limit, yada, yada, so what right." Now comes the second no limit tournament with 549 players and I find myself in contention to win another bracelet.
Did I deserve better? - Phil Hellmuth
I'm going to tell you exactly how I went out in the 'big one' this year. First, I would like to say, 'Please don't feel sorry for poor old nine-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) Champion Phil Hellmuth jr.!' After all, I don't even feel sorry for myself.
