UB.com pro Phil Hellmuth is slated to appear on Thursday's installment of Good Morning America (ABC) where he will play poker with host George Stephanopoulos and fellow UB.com pro Annie Duke. (check out the UB.com website here)

Hellmuth is coming off a stinging loss to Eric Baldwin at the World Poker Classic the other day.

"Baldwin's friends said he bluffed me when I folded AK or AQ to him. Still stunned!! My wife and I feel like I won, but somehow I am out!" Hellmuth said after the loss.

But for Hellmuth the WPT represented a significant turnaround from 2009.  With two cashouts in 2010 so far, Hellmuth has won more money in live tournaments than in all of 2009 combined.  The 7th place finish at the World Poker Classic earned him $152,856, his biggest win since November 2008.
