Phil Hellmuth Age
Scott 'Rumcakes' Ball was born and lives in the United States. From an early age he was engaged in martial arts, but was forced to quit due to epileptic seizures. Scott has had a lifelong passion for video games and esports - he was a manager in gaming organizations even before Twitch.tv came along. Subsequently, he created his small brand 'It's Gosu' in 2012.
Hiro said that in those days he often had to live in a 'game house' with his charges (from the English game-house - a house that is rented for a short period of time so that a team of cybersportsmen could meet and train in the same room). Then he started playing poker - first at home, then at micro-stakes online, and then at the limits of $1/3 at the casino.
At the same time, he worked as a security guard, then as a manager in the same esports organizations in order to make ends meet. Around 2013, he got a job at Razer, a company that manufactures professional gadgets for esports players. Then, quite by accident, his career took off ...
It happened at the EVO Championship gaming exhibition in Las Vegas in 2014. It brought together the best fighting game players from around the world - Street Fighter, Super Smash Bros, Tekken and so on. By that time, the twitch.tv gaming platform had already appeared for three years.
Hometown: Palo Alto. Country of Origin: United States. Birthdate: Jul 16, 1964 (Age: 56) @philhellmuth. Phil Hellmuth became famous in poker at a pretty young age, when he won a bracelet at the WSOP Main Event in 1989. At that time he was 24 years old and this victory made him the youngest champion of the World Series. Phil asserted himself loudly from the very beginning and 'keeps the brand' up to this very. 888poker is one of the softest poker sites 2021 has for us - a pleasant escape from other grinder-heavy sites. Initially known as Pacific Poker, 888 Poker was one of the first real quality poker sites in the industry and remains that way today.
Scott, who worked in eSports, had good connections with Twitch's top management. At the after-party after the show, he just met the top 2 guy from Twitch. He was a little tipsy, but happily listened to Scott's offer and agreed to the crazy idea - to add the Poker tab to the platform in test mode.
Scott Ball allegedly cheated Hellmuth all along 2020
Having gained widespread prominence in the poker community, Rumcakes has established contacts with a huge number of top poker players. So, in 2020, Phil Hellmuth entrusted him with the organization of his private cash game at the limits of $5/10/20. The game was played online, rumored to be in a mobile app. The calculation went post factum through the accountant. Only those who are ready to give action in order to get action, as well as those who are ready to play a couple of hours in non-core disciplines, exotic mix games, were invited.
From the words of Matusov, we learned that:
- Ball allegedly intentionally kicked Matusov out of the game, because he was the most skillful and profitable player;
- Scott Ball himself began to sit at the $5/10/20 table ($ 20K buy-in), and then raised the stakes in home games to $20/40 ($ 80K buy-in), which made many participants uncomfortable to play;
- He asked Helmut to hire his friend as an accountant. He was paid $1000 once a week. Later this “friend” started playing at $20/40;
- Scott has been playing with a 'accountant' and another anonymous 'friend' in constant touch(team playing) since May / June 2020. They took out $700K to $ 850K for 2020 (according to Matusov's estimates);
- In December 2020, about a week before Christmas, Scott Ball played 3-max against Phil Nagy with one of his associates. Phil Nagy is the WPN Poker Network Manager. He came to game completely drunk and did not even remember how he lost $270,000 in the evening.
How did you find out that Scott Ball was cheating?
He was betrayed by the same 'accountant' with whom they played in collusion. The man said that over time, Scott began to take home games from the 'box office' for an additional $5-10K per week, and this was noticed by one of the participants in the game, Marcus Gonzales.
According to Matusow, Phil is unlikely to pursue a fraud and demand money, as he prefers to keep everything to himself and let go of the situation.

Early life and education
There is not much known about Katherine’s background or what woke her interest in psychiatry – she spent her entire childhood in the US with her parents, and after she matriculated from a local high school, enrolled at the University of Wisconsin’s Medical School and graduated in 1993 – she went on to complete her residency at the Stanford University’s School of Medicine.
Career
Dr. Katherine Sanborn is specialized in treating hospitalized psychiatric patients – she has been a practitioner of psychiatry for over 20 years, and has gained a lot of experience in the field. She has been working at the Stanford University as the Co-Director of the Individual Psychotherapy Clinic, Stanford Dept of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences since 2011, while she is also the Inpatient Medical Director at the Psychiatry sector at Stanford since 2015.
Rumors say that Katherine wanted a taste of the poker feeling and that she therefore attended the Ladies Only World Series of Poker Tournament held in 2005 – it is not verified but is said that she competed, and lost to Jennifer Tilly who went on to became that year’s champion.
Personal life
Katherine is married to Phillip Jerome Hellmuth who is known for being an American professional poker player – ironically, Phil is known to act insane when the situation at the table is not as he would want it to be, and although Katherine is a psychiatrist, she can’t help him to control his emotions. A very popular poker commentator who works for the ESPN named Norman Chad called Katherine ‘a saint and an angel’ for being able to deal with her husband who has a problem with his temper. One time when he lost a round, he got mad and came to her while she calmed him down by saying ‘Let it go. You know you’re not out. You’re not out. Let it go. You’re not out, and everything can turn around. But you’ve got to let it go.’ While her husband loves being the center of attention and is a quite a public personality, Katherine hates being on camera, but is there during his big poker matches anyway.
The couple first met at the University of Wisconsin as both of them were studying there – they dated for several years and married each other just one year after Phil won the World Series of Poker Main Event in 1989, the youngest person who even managed to win it –and the couple exchanged their vows in 1990. Even though he might have a slight temper problem, Phil is known as a person who would never cheat on his wife – he enjoys going to clubs where he is usually treated as a VIP, while many beautiful girls flirt with him because of his wealth, but he loves his wife the most and would never do anything to hurt her. They have two kids who are no longer kids but already have their own families – Phil III and Nick – Katherine and Phil are currently living in Palo Alto in California, and are said to be enjoying their life there. According to some unofficial sources, Phil is trying to persuade his wife to move to Las Vegas so he could be closer to the poker tables, but Katherine prefers to stay in Palo Alto.
If someone is interested to learn more about Phil’s life journey and his marriage with Katherine, you can read his autobiography and learn more about the time when she wanted to leave him in 2001 and 2002 or when he wanted to leave her in 2015.
