"Wow!....Didn't know," was the response from the World Series of Poker top bracelet winner when advised he topped the list of all time money winners in poker.
 *$5 Million guaranteed Venom, $1 million for first place! *$2,650 buy-in *Win your seat for free via our Step Tournaments now running 24/7 *Satellites and Mega Satellites running leading up to the event LEARN MORE HERE |
The following players top the list in terms of overall earnings:
Fedor Holz (Germany): $32.6 million. ...
David Peters (US): $33.1 million. ...
Erik Seidel (US): $35.7 million. ...
Dan Smith (US): $36.7 million. ...
Daniel Negreanu (Canada): $41.8 million. ...
Justin Bonomo (US): $45 million. ...
Bryn Kenney (US): $55.5 million.
But it wasn't Holz who made the comment above.
It was Phil Hellmuth!
That's because Hellmuth tops the list when excluding buy-ins of more than $5.5K.
i knew this without checking! most players dont play the smaller buy ins and you always do. pretty impressive list https://t.co/AwhwCWVIsE

Hellmuth actually came under some criticism for pointing this out however.
This is the saddest form of insecurity from a winner finally gotta check that unfollow

Hellmuth received support from some followers.
Such hate for maybe the greatest player ever... all these young kids owe Phil alot. He paved the way for them... pretty sure we would all love to live his life.. keep up the good work phil. You have done more for poker than 98% of the players out there...
