Hellmuth’s Amp Goes to 11!!!!

Phil Hellmuth won his 11th gold bracelet yesterday in the $1,500 No Limit Hold’em event. Hellmuth’s 11th bracelet puts him ahead of both Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson who have 10 gold bracelets each. The 2,700 person field was the largest tournament that The “Poker Brat” has ever won proving once again that he has a special talent when it comes to negotiating large fields of clueless amateurs. Hellmuth takes home a little over $600,000 for his efforts. Hellmuth defeated Andy Philacheck ($394,594) heads-up for the title. Rick Fuller finished third ($247,518), Morgan Machina fourth ($161,425), and Scott Clements came in fifth ($112,997).
In a classy move both Chan and Brunson personally awarded Hellmuth his 11th bracelet. I have a sneaking suscpicion that Chan and/or Brunson will get their 11th at the 2007 World Series of Poker as well. Brunson is one of the leaders after day one of $5,000 Limit Hold’em Event.
