Phil Hellmuth Invades London
There are few poker pros as good at self marketing as Phil “Poker Brat” Hellmuth, and he showed off his skills once more when he recently toured London in a double-decker bus. The side of the bus was covered with his face and on board with him were a dozen women in scant police costumes, each signifying the bracelets he has won at the World Series of Poker, plus the one more he hopes to earn at the WSOP Europe. He is part of the London invasion of poker players hoping to score at the inaugural WSOPE, which starts Day Four today.
