Phil Hellmuth To Make Cameo In Showtime's 'Billions'Poker Pro Films Scene In Show Created By 'Rounders' Writer |
|
Fourteen-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth is set to get a cameo in the second season of the Showtime series Billions.
Hellmuth tweeted on Aug. 1 that he was flying to New York City to begin filming a scene for the latest season, which will air late next year. The show is about the power struggles in the world of New York high finance and was created by Rounders writer Brian Koppleman. Hellmuth also said on social media that he and Koppleman played some poker on the set.
Hellmuth finished third in the “impromptu” poker game, while Koppleman finished second.
Hellmuth is coming off a 2016 WSOP in which he cashed three times. His best finish was an eighth place in a $5,000 no-limit hold’em event. He now has 118 lifetime cashes at the WSOP, best all-time. While he might never be surpassed in bracelets, his cashes record could eventually fall. There are more events than ever, and it’s easier to cash these days, with at least 20 players at the 2016 WSOP cashing 10 or more times.
The 52-year-old posted a few photos of his work on Billions.
