Season 1 of Hellmuth’s Home Game, presented by Poker Night in America and sponsored by BetRivers, wrapped up its run on CBS Sports after airing Monday nights over the past year. Filmed at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, the show is known for its lack of commentary, instead relying on table talk from Phil Hellmuth Jr. and a rotating cast of pros and friends.
Ahead of Season 2’s debut later this month, PokerNews reviewed the stats from 24 players across the first season. Unsurprisingly, Hellmuth played the most hands of anyone, logging 1,611 compared to Dan “Jungleman” Cates’ 1,125. Others with heavy volume included Randy “3Coin” Sadler, Kelly Lucas, Phillip “P3” Hellmuth III, Xuan Liu, and Jennifer Tilly.
Hellmuth himself finished as the season’s fourth-biggest winner, profiting $58,975 with a 38.3% VPIP over his hand total.
Two players separated themselves from the pack financially. Jennifer Tilly led all competitors with $189,150 in profit over 816 hands, posting a 56.3% VPIP and a staggering win rate of 463.60 bb/100. Close behind was Cates, the second-biggest winner, who earned $116,225 over 1,125 hands with a 62% VPIP.
Other players finishing in the black included DJ Washburn (+$29,025), Erick Lindgren (+$22,400), and Mike “The Mouth” Matusow (+$2,650).
On the losing end, “Texas” Mike Moncek suffered the steepest downswing, dropping $225,700 across just 359 hands with a 69.6% VPIP. Shaun Deeb was the second-biggest loser at $111,925 over 288 hands, while Hellmuth’s sons Phillip III and Nick, along with Sadler and Liu, also finished with losses.
