Phil Hellmuth has been traveling for a month, or so he tells in his latest blog entry. He speaks about how it feels like to coach a WSOP finalist, but also about his upcoming games.

The Poker Brat

Hellmuth have had a busy month. First he traveled all around the USA, then headed to Nottingham, UK, to play in English Open, from there to London and WSOPE and finally to Aruba to play in the Aruba Poker Classic.

He doesn’t feel tired at all, so he intends to keep busy with his traveling life without any breaks. Tomorrow he is heading to Justin Timberlake’s organized golf tournament and at Thursday and Friday he plans to coach Jeff Shulman.

Coaching a WSOP finalist

Hellmuth has promised to coach Jeff Shulman, who’s father, Barry Shulman just won the WSOPE Main Event. “Barry wins the WSOPE, can you imagine his son Jeff winning the WSOP in the same year?  Wow, that’s a sick thought!“, Hellmuth praises.

Hellmuth won’t reveal what he is going to teach to Jeff, but has a solid faith in his victory. On the other hand, Phil doesn’t believe in Ivey’s victory. “Phil Ivey is truly amazing, but he only has $10 million in chips“, Hellmuth says.

Aruba was fun

Hellmuth tells that the trip to Aruba was mighty fun. He had a great suite where they had an epic party.

“The “Dan band” playing live in my suite, 30 bottles of Dom P, a full bar with two bartenders, a DJ, rap battles between Mooknam and Jeff Madsen, and a hot tub that involved some very adult entertainment. ”

To get into the party you had to either have an “Icon” status on Ultimate Bet, “Diamond Elite” on absolute Poker or get into the money at the Aruba’s poker tournament. Only 45 got into the money in the tournament and Hellmuth was 53rd. “The Poker Brat” took a beat when his aces didn’t hold in a 3-way all in pot.

Helmuth also reveals that he is going to play in some Poker After Dark and High Stakes Poker episodes in the next season. He is also participating in the WPT tournament in Bellagio which will start on October 22.
