Phil Hellmuth Floods Internet with WSOP Entrance
Tuesday, July 7, 2009 - UB Marketing
Just when you thought the internet was full of some pretty ridiculous stuff, Phil Hellmuth and UltimateBet have banded together in Vegas at the World Series of Poker to send shockwaves through the tubes of the worldwide superfantastic highway of infotainment.
It seems like you can’t read the news, browse YouTube or peruse a random poker blog without reading, hearing or seeing Phil Hellmuth dressed as an emperor, surrounded by ridiculously hot chicks wearing nothing but body paint, as he makes his way to the Rio for the Main Event of the WSOP 2009.
As outrageous as all of this sounds, we’re not making any of this World Series of Poker madness up. The proof is in your browser.
So many news outlets have reported on Phil Hellmuth’s grand entrance, it’s kinda difficult to know where to start.
Right here on the Ultimate Bet Blog, our chief blogger Gene Bromberg was the first to report on Phil’s now legendary WSOP entrance. In the usual Bromberg fashion, this post is complete with many exclusive photos of Phil’s eye-opening arrival. In fact, Gene’s photos of this spectacle are the best you can find online. Check out Gene’s post here.
In addition to our coverage, the official WSOP site covered the story. As did ESPN, Cardplayer, Poker Listings, Wicked Chops Poker, and even Bodog.
And it’s not just poker pubs and sports sites that are still talking about the greatest WSOP spectacle in the history of land-based or online poker. USA Today did a piece on Hellmuth’s World Series of Poker entrance the other day as well.
While a quick Google search will turn up all kinds of photos and videos, we’ve assembled a few YouTube clips taken by all kinds of international pubs and peeps.
