Hellmuth Wins 11th WSOP BraceletPhil Hellmuth Extends His Legend by Winning Event #15 and His 11th Gold Bracelet |
|
"I haven't even looked at the money yet, it's a nice pile," said Hellmuth after the gravity of the situation hit him. He then picked up a stack of money off the pile and kissed the prize. Everyone who knows Phil knows he couldn't care less about the money at this point. He is a fanatic about poker history, and he has now increased his part in that history. "I'm ready to own all the records. I'm ready to be the man, finally," said Hellmuth.
Here is how the heads-up action played out in the CardPlayer.com event logs:
David & Goliath
The players took a short break before heads-up play and returned to the following chip stacks:
Phil Hellmuth: $5,732,000
Andy Philachack: $2,152,000
Consecutive Command
8
2. Philachack bet $200,000 and Hellmuth raised to $700,000. Philachack folded and the third hand in a row went to Hellmuth. A board of Q
8 7 6 sat on the table when Hellmuth bet $250,000 on the next hand. Philachack called and the river brought the K. Philachack led out for $300,000 and Hellmuth quickly called. Hellmuth immediately flipped over 7 4. Philachack turned over A 9
, and Hellmuth took down his fourth pot in a row.
Andy Philachack: $1,000,000
10 and Hellmuth turned over A 3. Tension was thick in the air while the board hit the table with 9 4 3 Q J. Hellmuth won his record eleventh gold bracelet by winning the $1,500 no-limit hold'em event. He took home $637,254 in prize money, but more important, he made history by topping Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan for the all-time lead in number of World Series of Poker bracelets. Philachack was eliminated in second place and he took home $394,594 in prize money.

"Philachack began to over bet at pots and it was clear he wanted to avoid postflop play with Hellmuth. It wasn’t working to well though"
That should be TOO. C'mon, this is a professional publication!

The flop that's listed was actually for the hand before the 7-4/A-9 confrontation. The writer must have missed that flop...

congrats on the 11 bracelet phil. but ive just finished reading this book called "dirty poker" and it made me think twice about some of these so called poker pros who keep winning. i shouldnt of read it because i now feel there are alot of cheating going on in the poker world. People should take a look at this book..especially if they are new to the poker world.

Phil...Not a big fan...But credit where credit is due...I just hope Johnny or Doyle win a couple to put you back in the back. LOL ahhh, that's a terrible thing to say but you say some terrible things to others so i guess that's karma. So congrats/Booooooo!

Phil, this still makes you the best WSOP Hold'em player in the world. It changes nothing as far as who is the best all- around player in the world, check with this years HORSE for more insight on that topic. You should learn a new game.
