Phil Hellmuth making a run for his Tenth WSOP Bracelet

The notorious poker player Phil Hellmuth is making a significant run to capture his tenth bracelet at this years World Series of Poker. He has come so close and he is now sitting at the final table in the $1,000 No Limit Hold'em rebuy event. He is one bracelet behind the living legend Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan for the all-time bracelet winners. Phil is a tremendous poker player but his reputation as a poker player has been hurt a little bit in the past by his antics on and off the poker tables. Phil Hellmuth seems to have simmered down a little bit and that will be a good thing. He will still lose it when he takes a bad beat, and he will always think that he is above and beyond the best poker player in the world. To me that's not a bad thing as confidence is a major factor in demonstrating your poker ability. The brash confidence that Hellmuth shows can at often times be very frustrating for the other poker players at his table but at times that will work in Hellmuth's favor.

Play will resume at 2pm Vegas Time today and as it stands right now Phil Hellmuth is the chip leader going to the final table. It would definitely be nice to see Hellmuth put his name ontop of the all time bracelet winners list.

This years World Series of Poker has seen a lot of first time winners and the excitement level continues to get bigger with each passing day as the Main Event approaches. We'll have to wait and see how it all shakes down.
