Phil Hellmuth Off to Canada

Phil Hellmuth takes his poker game very seriously no matter who he is up against.  He was recently in a game against members of the press and after knocking out the firs player he said "Hey no rebuys, I want to win".

That desire to win along with his personality at the tables have made him a very firmiliar face in the poker world both online and in land based casinos.  He will be heading off to Canada soon as the focal point for UltimateBet.net's tour across the country. 

The tour is set to start at the Sheraton Hotel and will give between 300 and 350 poker players a chance to get some tips from Hellmuth and the rest of UltimateBet's poker pro team.  These lucky players are also going to get a chance to compete for the 2008 Aruba Poker Classic prize package.

Hellmuth said, "UltimateBet wanted to increase their presence in Canada so they decided to do the tour".  He also said that he likes sharing his poker knowledge with other aspiring poker players.  "To be honest I do enjoy it because I only get to do it about 10 days a year, and it's fun to do seminars because it's a good cause and I'll be appreciated," he said.
