Phil Hellmuth, the current record holder for World Series of Poker bracelets with 13, can add to his legacy Sunday night by winning his 14th title in the $1,500 razz event. In order to do it, he’ll have to overcome a stacked final table that includes Ted Forrest, Greg Pappas, Brandon Cantu, Brock Parker and David Bach.
By making the final table, Hellmuth added to his other WSOP records, marking his 101st tournament cash and 49th final table. The man known as “the poker brat” is looking to add to his career lifetime tournament earnings of $17.4 million.
Phil Hellmuth has only one non-hold’em WSOP bracelet, but it did come in razz. In 2012, he won the $2,500 razz tournament for $182,793.
This year’s event drew a field of 352 players, creating a prize pool of $475,200. The winner will take home $121,196. The final 40 players made the money, pocketing at least $2,575. Huck Seed (12th), Bill Chen (11th), Matt Waxman (19th), Ben Yu (21st), James Obst (30th), Berry Johnston (39th) and Phil Laak (40th) were among the notable players to cash.
The action will kick off at 2 p.m. PT at the Rio in Las Vegas.
