In breaking news we heard that the most controversial player from the November Nine, Jeff Shulman, Jeff Shulman, also known as the president of Card Player Media has chosen Phil 'PokerBrat' Hellmuth as his coach.
Yes, you read correctly, 11-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth will be preparing Shulman to play at his best this November. “The simplest reason why I’m doing this — I want to win, and I think it will help,” said Shulman.
None of the other players have recruited a coach that we know off and Shulman is the first to do so, will the trend get catchy? Hellmuth and Shulman have been friends for quite some time which is why I think Hellmuth agreed to do so. The trainings will take place through skype conferences. Shulman is in 4th position and has a good chance at that coveted bracelet.
“Phil just has such a way of thinking about winning that I knew he would be a great resource,” said Shulman. “We’re going to talk about final-table strategy, analyze the tapes, and work on my own play.”
