Okay. So you have no idea who Phil Hellmuth is. Well, he's a big star. Here's what Wikipedia has to say about him:Phillip J. Hellmuth, Jr. (born July 16, 1964) is an American professional poker player. He is best known for holding a record 11 World Series of Poker bracelets, for winning the Main Event of the 1989 World Series of Poker and for his temperamental, "poker brat" personality. He is also a member of the Poker Hall of Fame.
You may have seen Phil when you're flipping through your cable channels and stop to watch some folks playing Texas Hold 'em. His wife is a psychologist who sits in the audience and when Phil gets a little crazy, she grounds him.
That is not Phil Hellmuth in the photos with Kathleen. That is the attorney who represents our homeowner's association. A really nice fellow. He is also Phil Hellmuth's brother. So when David dropped by the neighborhood on business yesterday, we naturally had to grab the photo op.While Stan merrily snapped away, Kathleen invited Dave, Phil and their wives to dinner at our house, anytime. That's a standing offer, she said. (Hmm. Wonder what we're having? Texas barbecue?)
For his part, an amused David said that next time he'd bring Kathleen a genuine poker brat tee shirt or some other Hellmuth souvenir.The photograph at left is the actual poker star. Kathleen did not ask David if he beats his brother at cards.
