Im going to go with Phil Helmuth on this one since Phil Ivey isnt listed. As far as accomplishments go, and pure passion for the game, Helmuth is like the T.O of poker. Helmuth is really really good at what he does, but is often overshadowed by his constant outbursts, usually containing the words idiot and donkey. To me, its just a passion for the game he has came to know and love, and has made a very comfortable living doing it. I mean poker is one of the few jobs out there, were your paycheck can just go up in smoke, squandered away by some idiot thinking 77 was good post flop,pushing, only to face your KK, then getting idiot luck 7 on the river. I wouldtoo, and do on occasion.
