2012 WSOP: DAY 15 RECAP - HELLMUTH'S LEGEND GROWS WITH 12TH BRACELET


EVENT #18 |
2,500 SEVEN-CARD RAZZ |
309 ENTRIES | 702K PRIZEPOOL


It was one of the biggest nights in World Series of Poker history. On one side of the Rio, Andy Frankenberger and Phil Ivey going head-to-head for all the marbles in Event #17 ... and on this side of the table? History was made, again ... and this time, in a non-hold'em event!

Say what you will, but, Phil Hellmuth (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 27th) is a legend, and the legend just keeps on growing. Hellmuth picked up his record 12th WSOP bracelet (Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan both have 10) in Seven-Card Razz!!

With his great performance in non-exclusive hold'em events at last season's Series, no one should be that surprised that Hellmuth's improved play in non-hold'em events finally earned him the elusive 12th bracelet!

With his sixth place finish, Barry Greenstein (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 35th) earned his fourth QJ/PTPR Score of the season, entering the QuadJacks POY Top 50.

Don Zewin, Brandon Cantu, Brendan Taylor, Michael Chow, Scott Fischman, David Rosenau, Scott Abrams, Calvin Anderson, Jared Bleznick, Chris Viox, Dan O'Brien and Scott Clements are other notables that finished in the Top 18.
