And now the moment with Brian Coppelman.

Hey this is the moment. I'm Brian Coppelman. Thanks for listening.

Thanks for all the letters that you've been sending me to my email address

the moment BK at gmail.

I love getting them I respond to everyone and I'm really thrilled about the way in which people are

listening to this podcast I can feel how closely you're listening and the way in

which you're relating to it or grappling with some of the things that the guests say and

it's super inspiring to me. So thanks for that. Thanks for the ratings and reviews on iTunes and

for you know tweeting to me at Brian compliment on Twitter today's guest

Phil Helmeuth I'm super excited about this. Phil has had an enormous impact on my life and you know when we were writing rounders Levine and I

there's no question that Phil and Huxeed were the young

poker players who we found just incredibly compelling and about whom we were fascinated.

And a little known fact is that the Johnny Chan scene in Atlantic City was inspired by something that happened with Phil.

I'll talk about that.

There's so much I want to talk about about who Phil is, why he is the

way he is, why his reputation is what it is. But it's important to note just the outset.

We are talking about the most successful player in the history of the world series of poker.

The most bracelets. Clearly one of the world series of poker, the most bracelets.

Clearly one of the greatest tournament poker players who ever lived.

It'll be here soon. Phil Helmuth.

So stick around.

I mean you don't even have to stick around even though he's not coming for a second
