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
