Phil Hellmuth Nearing his 42nd World Series of Poker Final TableHellmuth Started the Day 4th of 15 |

Phil Hellmuth is at it again. Less than a week after Phil Ivey won his eighth career bracelet to inch ever closer to the all-time leader, Hellmuth is in a position to win his first non-hold’em bracelet — and 12th career bracelet — in the $1,500 pot-limit Omaha eight-or-better event today.
Hellmuth entered today’s play in fourth place out of 15 remaining players. Ryan Karp leads the field, while Barry Greenstein, Ben Lamb, and Anthony Couisneau were among the notables still left in the field at the beginning of the day. The field began with 847 players.

This isn’t the first time Hellmuth has threatened to win a bracelet this summer. He made the final two tables of event no. 8, a $1,500 no-limit hold’em event, but was eliminated in 15th place.
After that disappointing bustout, Hellmuth couldn’t help but vent, muttering, “I’m all in one time in 14 hours. They played so bad against me…I’m [expletive deleted] steaming.”
After he cooled down, he talked with Card Player TV about his legacy and what he hopes to accomplish at the World Series of Poker. He also talked about the mistakes he made after he won the main event in a special editorial feature.
