15 Time WSOP Winner Phil Hellmuth To Host Masterclass in South America

Phil “Poker Brat” Hellmuth will be holding his very first Masterclass on March 18 in the Belmond Copacabana Palace, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Hellmuth will head to Brazil as part of the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS South America stop. Anyone playing in the event will be able to attend Hellmuth’s Masterclass where he will be sharing “hints, tips and secrets from a career that has spanned more than 30-years.”

As well as the Masterclass, Hellmuth will be hoping to run deep in the LIVE MILLIONS Main Event that has a $5 million guarantee and a $10,300 buy-in. You can find more on the partypoker event in Brazil, here.

Never one to be outdone by his compadres, this is Hellmuth’s first foray into Masterclass territory unlike his friend Daniel Negreanu who has his very own Masterclass.

Always one to stay humble, Hellmuth made headlines only two weeks ago when he won the Borgata Winter Poker Open Event #16 $1590 Heads-up tournament— adding $37,248 to his $23 million+ lifetime tournament earnings.
