Phil Hellmuth won his record-extending 16th career World Series of Poker bracelet Sunday in Las Vegas, taking home an $84,951 first-place prize in the $1,500 no-limit 2-7 lowball draw event.<\/p>\n
Hellmuth defeated Jake Schwartz heads up to secure the victory. It was Hellmuth's first WSOP win since a $5,000 no-limit hold'em event in 2018, and now puts him six WSOP victories ahead of fellow poker legends Phil Ivey, Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan, who each have 10 WSOP bracelets.<\/p>\n
According to the WSOP, it was Hellmuth's 70th career WSOP final table appearance -- also a record -- and his fourth such deep run since the start of the 2021 WSOP in late September.<\/p>\n
Hellmuth, 57, also finished sixth in a $25,000 HORSE tournament, fifth in a $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better championship and fourth in a $10,000 Seven-card Stud Championship.<\/p>\n
Hellmuth now sits in second place in the 2021 WSOP Player of the Year race, just behind Anthony Zinno, who won the aforementioned seven-card stud championship and immediately followed that up by winning a second 2021 WSOP bracelet in a recent $1,500 HORSE tournament.<\/p>\n
