**SPOILER WARNING**

I saw where The Poker Brat finished 6th in a recent Omaha Hi-Lo event at the latest World Series of Poker.

Man, I wanted to see him win a record-tying tenth bracelet. That would have silenced his critics, the ones who say Phil only can win No-Limit Texas Holdem events.

I'm new to this forum. Where does everyone around here place Phil Hellmuth Jr. in the ranks of the modern poker greats?

I played more than a few games with Phil in the basement of an apartment on Langdon Street in Madison many moons ago. He could play then, and he can play now!! His dad was a prof on campus and would have been more than a bit miffed if he knew the extent of Phil's play sessions. I personally would rank him top three as a holdem player, and top ten overall.
