Poker Brat On Reality TV Show

The winner of eleven World Series Of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, Phil Hellmuth, will be joining the cast of an American reality television series set to air in the autumn.

Hellmuth will join the seventh season of VH1�s The Surreal Life alongside professional wrestler Randy Savage, musician Nikki McKibbin, psychic Miss Cleo, comedian Scott �Carrot Top� Thompson and 1980s actor Dabney Coleman.

The Wisconsin native will become the first professional poker player to appear on the show and it is hoped that his nickname of �the poker brat� will draw viewers. Hellmuth is widely considered to be the most successful tournament poker player but he hates to lose and often complains.

Only 24-years-old when he won his first WSOP bracelet in 1989, Hellmuth had only started playing four years before. In 2001, he joined a very elite club that included only two other players, Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson, with ten WSOP bracelets.

The Surreal Life is similar to the popular Big Brother or The Real World television series and sees a group of celebrities being filmed living together in a Hollywood mansion for two weeks. The first series of the show featured rapper MC Hammer, actors Emmanuel Lewis, Gabrielle Carteris and Brande Roderick alongside musician Vince Neil and actor Corey Feldman. The finale saw Feldman wed his girlfriend after the group had been on a Survivor-inspired camping trip.
