The son of the WSOP GOAT made his debut on the show

Phil Hellmuth kicked off his 2024 tournament run with a 10th-place finish in a PokerGO Tour Kickoff Series event, earning $14,400. However, the real highlight for him was sharing the felt with his son, Phillip Hellmuth III, who made his PokerGO Studio debut in Las Vegas.

Phillip, 34, has spent much of his career in banking but has been dedicating more time to poker over the past year. According to his father, he has played roughly 160 days in the past 320, splitting time between tournaments and cash games. This new chapter saw him enter three $5,000 buy-in events, competing against some of the toughest high rollers in the game.

While Phil balanced his own play with promoting his new online poker sponsor and interacting with fans, he also took a moment to express his pride in his son. On social media, he shared his excitement, noting that Phillip was competing alongside some of the biggest names in poker, including Erik Seidel, Alex Foxen, and Jesse Lonis.

Although Phillip did not secure a cash, he impressed other players with his composure and decision-making at the tables. Phil acknowledged this, saying he was pleased to hear from others about how well his son handled himself.

The two even found themselves seated at the same table at one point, where Phil praised his son for making a strong laydown. However, both were eventually eliminated by John Riordan.

Their time in Vegas extended beyond tournaments, as they also played $5-$10 No-Limit Hold’em cash games at the Aria. In one recorded hand, Phillip won a pot off his father, marking a memorable moment in their poker journey together. Phil, who staked his son for the PokerGO events, believes Phillip has great talent and could develop into a professional by the next WSOP.
