The list has been cut short to 15 players in Event #41 $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Low Split 8 or Better. Thirteen should be very vexed, nonetheless though they are going for their first WSOP bracelet. And it would be more than once for the two of them ? Barry Greenstein and Ultimate Bet Poker Phil Hellmuth are still on the hunt to add to their bracelet collection.

Although this most likely goes without saying, since he says it so much himself, Hellmuth has the most bracelets in WSOP history, but with this week’s win by Phil Ivey, many are speculating if that record will soon be broken. Hellmuth nabbed bracelet number 11 in 2007 and, given that he will head into Day 3 fourth in chips with a stack of 331,000, could very well pick up number 12.

Hellmuth was born in Madison, Wisconsin where he attended the University of Wisconsin–Madison for three years prior dropping out to play poker full time. He is also a part of the Poker Hall of Fame.
