WSOP Victory Aids Hellmuth

Thanks to his record 11th bracelet poker pro Phil Hellmuth jumps from spot 16 into the top ten of the most influential personalities and organizations in June, according to ThePokerBiz. The outfit releases the poker industry's top 25 influencers each month, and Phil's presence in the media and his abilty to break records moved him into spot number 9. In addition to winning 11 WSOP bracelets (beating Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan) Hellmuth has cashed 60 times and set the record for final table finishes at 38 (actually tying with TJ Clouiter's 38). The number one spot is, appropriately, the WSOP itself.
