No matter how you slice up the stats, Hellmuth is seemingly always near the top. The self-proclaimed Poker Brat has taken a lot of verbal abuse in recent years (almost as much as he doles out), with many top online grinders and other pros publicly critiquing his skills and abilities. They’ve said anything from “His game doesn’t hold up in the modern era,” to “The game has passed him by.” But take a look at the post-boom stats, and Hellmuth is right up there with the best of them.

With 35 WSOP cashes since 2004, no player has made the money more than the Wisconsin native. Along with his two WSOP bracelets since the boom (tied for No. 5), Hellmuth can make a solid case for the title of “best pro in the WSOP in the modern era.”

Just behind Hellmuth, and perhaps looking to surpass him this summer, are three of the game’s best — John Juanda, Barry Greenstein, and Daniel Negreanu. Lisandro, who leads all players with the most bracelets since 2004, is impressively in fifth place on this list, as well.
