Hellmuth was eager to show that his understanding is up to snuff with what&#8217;s fast becoming one of the most popular sports in the States.<\/p>\n<p>Known in the poker circles as the &#8220;poker brat&#8221;, Hellmuth is also known for not shying away from unconventional prop bets. And rightly so, a jack of all trades, he has shown not once why he has a reason to be so overly confident both on the table and anywhere else. <\/p>\n<p>Hellmuth showed an enviable aptitude for athletic sports to win the two-part bet. However, his success was contingent on the agreement he and Doug Polk had made beforehand. Both poker pros agreed they&#8217;d have only 20 attempts to make a successful return against a professional tennis player and win the $7000 bet.<\/p>\n<p>However, this isn&#8217;t all. It doesn&#8217;t come as a surprise that Hellmuth decided to sweeten the pot a bit. From what it seems, He kicked it up a notch by proposing a side pot up for grabs for whoever manages to make a winning return or scores a point in-play. In such case, an additional $16 000 bounty would be added to the $7000 won for returning the serve. <\/p>\n<p>Like always, Hellmuth played his cards perfectly, negotiating an additional critical stipulation. Knowing what he&#8217;s about to face, he offered a gentlemen&#8217;s agreement that none of the twenty serves would be faster than 80 mph. And that about sums up the conditions both millionaires and friends agreed on. <\/p>\n<p>To better imagine the importance of the last contingency, let me quickly mention that retired tennis pro Andry Roddics has a legit 155 mph serve on his record. So, it&#8217;s abundantly clear that giving a male tennis pro the right to perform their best serve would be like giving them a license to kill. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-event-lived-up-to-the-hype\">The Event Lived up to the Hype<\/h2>\n<p>Hellmuth made a public display of his speed and grace on his twitter account, publishing <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/phil_hellmuth\/status\/1070530941712355329\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a short succession of videos<\/a> filmed on the court. Jokes aside, from the published footage we can see that the <a href=\"https:\/\/calvinayre.com\/2018\/12\/03\/poker\/poker-brat-makes-appearance-domenick-nati-show\/\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">poker brat<\/a> has the footwork to be called a decent amateur tennis player. <\/p>\n<p>The videos show that the luxury resorts&#8217; tennis courts might very well be Phil Hellmuth&#8217;s stomping ground. The possibility of him hiring a highly qualified tennis coach before the actual challenge took place is not out of the equation either. <\/p>\n<p>If you watch the video documentation with the eyes of a tennis pundit, you&#8217;d see the poker pro going for chip-and-charge, reaching for demi-volleys, and displaying good composure and stance. This time the 15-time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.onlinepokeramerica.com\/news\/jun-wang-leads-in-the-wsopc-sydney-opening\/\">WSOP bracelet<\/a> winner has earned the bragging rights and no one can take that away from him.<\/p>\n<p>From the looks of it, It seems as though Hellmuth is way out of Dough Polk&#8217;s league at least when tennis is concerned. We can only hope that Polk is bearing up after the humbling experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The self-proclaimed best poker tournament player and cash game regular Phil Hellmuth won a prop bet against Doug Polk testing, not his player reading abilities, but tennis skills.
