Phil Hellmuth has just extended his lead further on the WSOP gold bracelet leaderboard after picking up his 14th bracelet in the $10,000 buy-in Razz Championship (Event #17).
Back in 2012 many doubted that Hellmuth would win a bracelet in a non-hold'em event (the previous 11 bracelets had come in that discipline). He then silenced the "disbelievers" by winning the $2,500 Seven Card Razz even[...] Read more » 2015 WSOP: Phil Hellmuth Wins A 14th Bracelet!

Congratulation to the one and only Phil Hellmuth. 14th Bracelet it's something, for me it's always a pleasure to watch how he act at the poker table. Now is much richer than before with a beautiful prize 271.105$. Total earning of Phil is (12,787,262$) not with 14th bracelet and Ivy who is on second place with 10 bracelet has (6,547,630$) unbelievable, double.

I was fairly certain that Helmuth would pop up in this series and win another bracelet and it will be no surprise if he doesn't win another later on.Just goes to show that the older players who continue to learn and keep up can still compete at this level.

Although not trying to detract from his achievement (he's an awesome tourney player and deserves every one of his bracelets..), a point was made on another forum I go on...
"If I played EVERY WSOP tourney EVERY year, I would have 14 bracelets too"
It's true he's probably had more shots at winning than anyone else, but still....

G'day mates I think it is GREAT the Phil has won another tournament. I personally always enjoyed watching the so-called bad boy of poker. I loved it every time him had one of his blow ups and would rant and raze at other players. He was always so entertaining. Ronin

This guy is a huge player, and even he cames from years a ago in the poker world, he still playing on the high level on the game. For my opinion, i don't like to much Phill Hellmuth, but he just shows time and time again that is a complete player and can figth and play against all the players in every game on poker. Beside that i want to give a big congratulations for the 14th win, because is hard to win much has he won.

well if I played EVERY WSOP tourney EVERY year, i would still have 0 bracelets and probably 0 final table appearances, well maybe 1-2 visits just to see how things smell there... now what i'm trying to say here is that phill hermouth can sleep safely knowing that pochui is not after his record of 14 bracelets.

What a tremendous achievement by Phil Hellmuth and he deserves every bit of praise he gets. To win fourteen bracelets is something to behold and i hope he wins a few more

I wonder how many guys got called IDIOTS, specially if they were from europe EUROPEAN IDIOT he has a game no doubt, u dont win 14 bracelets on luck alone, but whats missing from his character is admitting he was wrong, coz when he miss reads a situation, hes off like in light years, and every time its the other player fault, and that makes him an idiot "Cant believe this idiot, call my raise with T4, and got lucky, and he thinks he knows how to play poker, what an idiot, honey i can believe this european idiots, i bet u wont make it another 20 min buddy, what an idiot" but hes very entertaining when his on tilt
He admitted he had rage issues a long time ago... and he has worked on it with a psychiatrist I think lol. He isn't as bad as he used to be nowadays.
I agree that he's a brat but he got lucky early in his career and made the most of it. He managed his money well enough to keep playing all these years (sponsors help, but still), A lot of players don't have that discipline He's a pretty unique dude, and he's really funny to watch when he's on tilt. Much more entertaining to watch than Scott Seiver

When he was doing his spoiled brat routine it was pretty annoying and sometimes very disrespectful to the other players at the table but these days he seems to be enjoying poker more and no one can dispute that he is one of the all time greats in poker....and not just hold em either.
