All Time Bracelet Leader Phil Hellmuth Will Not Be Part Of WSOP 2025 Main Event

Poker legend Phil Hellmuth has stirred the pot with his comments about the upcoming WSOP 2025 Main Event. The World Series of Poker 2025 is one of the most crucial events in poker history. It is the first WSOP event after GGPoker’s takeover. The schedule for the tournament was launched recently, and retorts to it are already making the rounds.

The complete WSOP 2025 schedule has 100 bracelet events and will run from 27th May to 16th July. With more than 60 days of poker magic, poker fans are definitely looking ahead to the tournament, but Hellmuth, the all-time leader in WSOP bracelet winners, shook the poker community by announcing that he won’t be part of WSOP 2025 ME. 

Phil Hellmuth To Be A No-Show At WSOP 2025 Main Event

I am not playing the @WSOP Main Event. It has become an “Endurance contest.”

I truly believe that 80% of the players want changes made to the @WSOP Main Event. 12 hour days, or longer, for 6-7 days in row, is brutal and disproportionately affects older players pic.twitter.com/7K4OcJOZ56

Hellmuth explained his stance and said the WSOP Main Event is more of an Endurance Test. He also said that if other poker players were polled about whether there should be days off at the Main Event, 80% would say yes.

Hellmuth’s statement has been pretty definitive. With GGPoker, one of the biggest names in the poker industry, gearing up for the gala WSOP event, it remains to be seen if there could be something that will change Hellmuth’s mind.
