\"PhilDaniel Negreanu<\/strong> has once again attacked Phil Hellmuth on Twitter by saying that the latter\u2019s tournament record doesn\u2019t show any proof that he can win at high-stakes games. <\/p>\n

Hellmuth, who has always expressed enormous confidence in his skills, considers himself the \u201cGOAT<\/em>\u201d of poker<\/a>. <\/p>\n

His self-proclamation often attracts criticism and ridicule especially from a number of prominent, modern pros who believe he\u2019s already past his prime. <\/p>\n

Negreanu shares a similar opinion on the American poker pro, saying he may have been a GOAT during his era, but he is no match for the new crop of poker pros who are currently making it big in the high roller scene<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Hellmuth\u2019s poker accomplishments cannot be overlooked. He has won the most number of World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets with 15; he has scored the most WSOP cashes and final tables, and was inducted to the prestigious Poker Hall of Fame in 2007<\/a>. <\/p>\n

He has had a number of victories in heads-up poker as well, with his total live earnings currently sitting at more than $24 million. But do note that the guy currently doesn\u2019t hold any major titles as far as major high-roller tournaments are concerned. <\/p>\n

According to Negreanu, the best score Hellmuth has managed to achieve in the high-stakes arena so far in his career was a 4th-place finish in the 2012 $1 million One Drop. Hellmuth also failed to cash in the \u201cmodern era<\/em>\u201d of high-stakes tournaments, and Negreanu thinks his skills only shine in the low and mid-stakes games. <\/p>\n

I took a deeper dive into @phil_hellmuth<\/a> tourney record. For a guy who thinks he can beat $25k and higher buy in events against the worlds best players, the record doesn\u2019t show any such thing. <\/p>\n

The numbers:<\/p>\n
