|
Phil Hellmuth is already the all-time World Series of Poker bracelet leader, with his 15 victories at the series being five more than any other player in poker history. On Thursday, Oct. 7, Hellmuth will have a chance to extend that advantage, as just four players stand between him and his record-furthering sixteenth bracelet.
Hellmuth is among the final five in the 2021 WSOP $10,000 Omaha eight-or-better championship. Bracelet winner Ari Engel is the chip leader, while Hellmuth will return to the short stack when play resumes at 4:00 p.m. at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino. His 390,000 represents just 6.5 big bets at the current limit of 30,000-60,000.

Play concluded for the night when George Wolff’s straight and 8-6-5-4-2 low lost out to the nut flush and 7-5-4-2-A low of Ari Engel, who scooped the pot to extend his already sizable lead heading into five-handed play. Wolff earned $61,877 as the sixth-place finisher.
