Poker Legend Phil Hellmuth Partners with the World Series of Poker App

World Series of Poker® (WSOP)[1], a Playtika® studio and the world's no. 1 play-for-fun poker game[2], has launched an in-app campaign with Phil Hellmuth, widely regarded as the greatest poker tournament player of all time.

This month, WSOP players have access to a whole new album within the app, offering the chance to play 10 legendary poker hands chosen by Hellmuth, accompanied by real life footage from Hellmuth’s appearance at the official WSOP Tournament.

Hellmuth has also recorded exclusive video clips for the WSOP® community, in which he provides poker tips and shares candid thoughts on the ups and downs of his legendary career. This will bring players of the free to play WSOP game closer to the champion than ever before. So far, Hellmuth has won 16 WSOP bracelets throughout his 35-year career.

Hellmuth comments on the innovative partnership:

'As a poker legend, it is amazing to see the level of enthusiasm for the game that exists online within the WSOP app community! That's a big part of why I jumped at the opportunity to share my expertise with all the fans using our platform. Whether WSOP players count me among their favourites or not, many will have seen me play online, analysed my hands and hopefully learnt a thing or two. Now, they can get tips from me directly and get to know me on a whole new level!”

He also teased some of the guidance he’ll be sharing with WSOP players: “My main advice to newer players is to not lose your nerve ... ever. Being cool headed is always a good recipe for success Let's play!”[3]
