Paul Phillips
Biography
The dot-com multimillionaire is basically an instant celebrity in the poker world.
Phillips placed second to Mel Judah at the Bicycle Casino World Poker Tour event. In an interview, he expressed
disappointment with his runner-up status. That would soon change.
After his honeymoon, the newlywed Phillips went on to beat more than 300 opponents to win this spring's Bellagio Five
Diamond Classic.
After being a successful entrepreneur, Paul Phillips still finds tournament poker challenging and satisfying:
"I like socializing, gambling, and having my brain fully engaged. I know various activities that offer one or two of those
at once, but in my life poker is the only one that hits all three.
And sure, the challenge is interesting to me or I'd be doing something else. I was largely done playing cards but the
advent of the WPT and the explosion in the field sizes sucked me back into it.
I enjoy putting my money where my mouth is against the best in the world and occasionally coming out victorious."
