Youngest winners of the WSOP Main Event
Phil Hellmuth held the title of youngest World Series of Poker’s Main Event champion for almost 20 years following his victory in 1989 at age 24. But since the rise of online poker, there have been multiple champions in their early 20s who bettered that record.
