I don't know your definition of "high level" but Hellmuth is clearly making money playing poker. I just checked the Global Poker Index, here's a 2018 to-date summary:
2018 WSOP, 7 cashes, largest $485,082.
Other cashes include: WPT tournament of champions, LA Poker Classic, 2018 Poker Open, WSOP Europe (2 cashes), Poker Night in America ($200K), Poker Masters ($600k)
Hellmuth is a mad scientist. What he doesn't isn't supposed to work, but it does.
