Phil Hellmuth To Pay Kevin Martin After His Stormy LATB Exit?


Phil Hellmuth’s latest record of losing big money in poker is surely something that has got him disappointed (more like fuming), and it’s obvious. A couple of days ago, he set a new record when it came to registering losses in a live streamed game.

He lost $194K, which is the most he has ever lost on a live-streamed poker game. Dejected and upset, he announced that he was having a bad week and cancelled all his upcoming games scheduled for the week and that he was returning home.

Among the various things that were lined up for the 16-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner this week was a live stream game where he was supposed to play with Kevin Martin at the Live at the Bike. It all started later last month when Hellmuth publicly invited Martin to play with him. The two were supposed to play on 15th February 2023.

However, after suffering the humiliating loss this week, Hellmuth tweeted that he was cancelling all his commitments and flying back home.

Martin was furious and took to Twitter to express his anger and criticize Hellmuth. In his tweet, he described that after Hellmuth publically approached him, he gathered around $100K, which amounted to a considerable chunk of his net worth to pay for the travel, accommodation and more. He further wrote, “He quits because he’s having a bad week. Big fucking L for you @phil_hellmuth.” (sic.)

Hellmuth was kind enough to reply to Martin and also apologised and said that he would cover all of Martin’s travel expenses that he incurred. ‘PokerBrat’ further invited Martin to play and shoot two games in a row with him. “And, we will call it the “Kmart Game.” Deal?,” he added.

Martin posted a reply to his earlier tweet clarifying that Hellmuth had personally called him after the incident to apologize and reschedule the game. He also stated that Hellmuth asked him to keep his original tweet anyway and that everything was good between the two.

A lot of users replied to his tweet praising Hellmuth for his gesture.

Although Hellmuth may be criticized for his behaviour at the poker tables, this act has certainly earned him some considerable respect. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
