Let us start this latest post by saying one thing: the Poker Brat is back! Phil Hellmuth's tremendous run throughout the summer at the World Series of Poker as well as his good showing at WSOP Europe have earned him PTPR Comeback Player of the Year honours for 2011.
Now let's get one thing straight, Hellmuth wasn't out of poker in 2010 - in fact, he had a Top 100 finish on our 2010 PTPR Leaderboard. This award is more of a tip of the cap to Hellmuth for returning to poker's elite. The Poker Brat finished the season in the Top 20 in scoring, collecting four PTPR Scores in 2011 - three of the four in non-No Limit Hold'em events - the fourth being a NLH Six Handed event at WSOP Europe ... Hellmuth had three seperate second place finishes at the WSOP this summer, coming oh so close to another bracelet - let's hope Phil gets it done in 2012.
Hellmuth has his share of critics, but, it's hard to overlook his impressive stats, despite not playing a full schedule of events as other top pros do.
Congratulations, Phil!
