Phil Hellmuth’s son dominates WSOP Circuit $600 Monster Stack in Vegas

Phil Hellmuth’s son, Phillip Hellmuth III, is making waves at the WSOP Circuit in Las Vegas. The young player advanced strongly in the $600 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold’em event near me, while his father competes in a high-stakes main event nearby on Eventbrite.

Hellmuth III entered the $600 Monster Stack event at Planet Hollywood, part of the WSOP Circuit series. On Day 1b, he secured a near triple-up in a key hand, boosting his chip count early on.

Later in the session, he won another major pot with a set-over-set cooler, pushing his stack to 302,000. By the end of the flight, only 54 players remained from the original 260 entrants. Meanwhile, his father, poker legend Phil Hellmuth, is playing in a $10,100 buy-in event at the PokerGO Tour (PGT) Last Chance series, just across the street.

Hellmuth III now holds a strong position heading into the next stage of the tournament. With 54 players left, the competition will tighten as the event progresses. His performance so far marks a notable run in the WSOP Circuit.
