Phil Hellmuth scores his 12th bracelet!

Tags: $2, 12th bracelet, 2012 wsop, 500 Seven Card Razz, phil hellmut, record.
Posted on 11 June 2012 by "T".

Phil Hellmuth has just won Event 18 ($2,500 buy-in Seven-Card Razz) and laid hands on his 12th WSOP gold bracelet and $182,793 in prize money! The tournament attracted 309 players and not less than 6 former bracelet winners were among the top 8 finishers, so you can just imagine how tough it was for Hellmuth to reach his 12th WSOP bracelet - the most bracelets by any player in history!

Hellmuth now holds a 2-bracelet lead over his closest opponents - poker legends Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan, who have 10 wins each. This will for sure not be Hellmuth's last bracelet since he is "only" 47-years-old and probably hasn't planned on retiring from poker yet.

wow 12 for hellmuth...an amazing performance. Finally he managed to take down this event. and good luck for more bracelets....
 remco250411/06/2012 13:29:33 GMT
I think its great for him because the last few years players showed very little respect for him and thats not what he deserves

Maybe a little mokking for his antics at the table is ok but everyone saying he's a donkey isnt right

Glad he won another 1 to shut some people up

Phil Hellmuth is the greatest player ever, even if he does say so himself (every other word). I think it will be 100 years or more before there is someone good enough to beat his record.

Wow wow wow respect, didnt see the pokernews.
Damn that guy is god.
I can only say respect to this god Worship

Jeez .. it's ONLY Razz !
 Macubaas11/06/2012 17:21:21 GMT
Big congratulations to Phil Hellmuth, he showed once again that he really deserves all those gold bracelets.

Know i'm really interested to see what he will don on the big one event, i think he would really want a platinum bracelet too Big Smile
 DaMessiah66611/06/2012 18:10:32 GMT
Yes, he is a monster but it's true that he plays every WSOP event so ... sooner or later ... he had to win it! And this time playing 7-card razz ... In my opinion is not so valuable. Anyway, his legend is even bigger
 Rogerio1011/06/2012 19:27:40 GMT
Finaly Big Smile He sure is one of the best touranament player, and always fun to watch when he's on table. Thumbs Up

Phil hellmuth will always be my idol and who i aspire to act like at the poker table.


you are such a bawbag lol

 Greenmohave11/06/2012 21:17:25 GMT
Well you know his arrogance just went up another 99%. The times I've watched him play he has an excuse for losing or why he lost, but why not? We all do. It's got to be one of his biggest wins because lately he's been falling out early in the WPT events I've watched. Good to be back on top ay Phil?
 fcumred11/06/2012 22:45:22 GMT
Whatever you think of him, he's undoubtedly the best poker player on the planet. His credentials in the biggest poker tournaments in the world stand up against anyone else.

Last year he was the first person ever to finish 2nd in three WSOP events in the same year. Thats how close he came to getting number 12 last year.

The guy for all his faults is phenomenal and the number of cashes in WSOP events blows everyone out the water.

Fair play to him though.. when you are as good as he is, you can afford to be arrogant and mouthy...
 Aces_Bluffer12/06/2012 00:51:29 GMT
It's incredible! He must be a very good player! I'll check some info about him...

So everyone who is very good in a sport or something can afford to be arrogant ??

I like humble people more ... if he was humble about everything he would be a far greater champion if he was likeble

Non the less 1 of the best ever and probely the best live tournament player at this moment

No realy ??? Big Smile ....sarcastic realy ??? ...haahaa

This proves what an idiot you are following me around
You nothing to me little boy
 occultum12/06/2012 17:13:49 GMT
I'm glad for him he's a very peculiar persona and for me the image of the true degenhero.
Funny aswell to see that whatever it takes the same 10 people are still ruling the poker world for so many years makes me believe that if your truly commited and study the game deeply you can win consistely.

By the way Tony G already posted his toughts about Hellmuth's victory which is a very funny post indeed.

I'm just messing chill out FFS. I'm not even following you around. I didn't know you are gay and weren't calling you a gayboy in that particular definition. I've got nothing against gays and since you are gay, I'm sorry that was totally uncool of me.
 Cliffem12/06/2012 22:47:48 GMT
Congrats Phil! WSOP always bring out your A game! Bring on #13!

Ok lets both chill ...

In the beginning it was joking now its getting anoying

I also made could have been a little calmer in my comments generaly
But if everyone says the same there will never be discussion

So for everyone who didnt like my comments in the past
I will try not to piss of people but i wont change my opinion and will keep giving it

Wish you good luck sadam but if i was you grow up you 24 and its time for that
