Phil Hellmuth wins 12th WSOP Bracelet in Event #18: Seven Card Razz, of the 43rd World Series of Poker. Hellmuth proves he’s got what it takes to be a champion by extending his bracelet lead on Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan who both have earned 10 WSOP bracelets.
This is Phil Hellmuth first non-holdem bracelet to add to his collection, last year Hellmuth was unsuccessful at capturing gold and finished runner up in three 2011 WSOP events. Hellmuth hasn’t won a World Series of Poker tournaments since 2007.
Hellmuth’s 12th WSOP bracelet for first place finish in the event #18 is worth more than his $182,793 winnings for the event.
Phil Ivey almost won his 9th WSOP bracelet but was instead beaten by Andy Frankenberger heads-up in WSOP Event #17: Pot-Limit Hold’em.
