10. Phil Hellmuth

More than any other poker player, Phil Helmuth holds the record for most WSOP bracelet wins with 16. In addition, he owns the distinction for the greatest WSOP flows of cash and final tables. In 1989, he triumphed in the World Series of Poker’s Main Event as well. Hellmuth is a well-known gambler for reasons other than only his poker-playing prowess.

He is known for being a very sensitive gambler who is prone to anger outbursts. He acquired the moniker “the Poker Brat” as a result. It is said that he externalizes those feelings to prevent them from manifesting during play. In other words, it just appears that he is out of it. Hellmuth is still actively involved in the poker industry and has made over $24 million in live earnings thus far
