(Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom) $4,484, 199th Innes Young (Leeds, United
Kingdom) $3,408 The winner of the 1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em event was
Phil Hellmuth, Jr. The poker superstar from Palo Alto, CA won his record 11th
gold bracelet at the World Series of Poker. He is now the all-time leader in
wins, one ahead of Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan with ten each. This marked the
largest field Hellmuth has ever conquered. The tournament attracted a whopping
2,628 entries. Coming into the 2006 WSOP, Hellmuth was one-win behind Brunson
and Chan. But he has won the last two titles and taken the lead for the first
time ever. This was Hellmuth's 38th final table appearance (lifetime). He is
now one away from the all-time leader, T.J. Cloutier - currently with 39. This
marked the 59th time Hellmuth has finished in-the-money at the WSOP. He is the
all-time leader in that category. Hellmuth is currently five cashes ahead of
the second-place player. |
