Johnny Chan Goes for WSOP Win No. 11

Phil Hellmuth just broke a three-way tie and took the top spot as the guy with the most World Series of Poker bracelets in history when he won the $1,500 no-limit event Monday. Today, Johnny Chan has a chance to re-tie Hellmuth and win his 11th bracelet. There are 23 players left and he is third in chips in the $1,500 pot-limit Omaha event.

Chan is tied with Doyle Brunson on the most bracelets won list with 10.

Chan is one of the most accomplished WSOP players. Chan won back-to-back WSOP main event bracelets in 1987 and 1988. He had 35 WSOP cashes going into 2007. If Chan makes the final table, it will be his 27th, which would put him all alone at fourth on that list. He's now tied with fourth.
