Phil Hellmuth #1 in chips at the final table with 790,000...

#2 has 450,000 in chips...

tommorrow Phil will win #10... 3rd time is the charm.

This time, I believe you.

GL Phil.

Before I die, there will be a time when I can lose 48k in 1k buy-in increments by going in blind at a poker tournament and it will cause me to laugh and go get a sub while chuckling about it to myself.

Phil Hellmuth $1,315,000

Daryn Firicano $501,000

John Spadavecchia $357,000

Juha Helppi $328,000


at dinner break... Phils #10 bracelet will be on his wrist before long...

I seriously don't know which one is funnier.

LMAO!:thumbsup:

ty ty... I'll be here all week.

Oh wait - no I won't! :)

They are heads up right now... and Phil is #2 in chips. The leader is the one guy that I thought COULD give Phil a run when I saw the final table list: Juha Helppi. He started off fairly short, but he's got 2x the chips Phil has now.

Will this be another runner up finish for Hellmuth, or will he pull it off this time?

I'm going to bed, so I guess I'll have to wait until morning to find out.

Phil Hellmuth Wins 10th Bracelet!!!

238. Phil Hellmuth limps in from the button and Juha Helppi moves all in. Hellmuth immediately calls with A:s: J:h: . Helppi turns over A:d: 9:h: . The board comes Q:s: 8:s: 2:c: K:s: 6:c: and Phil Hellmuth has won the tournament.

Juha Helppi finishes in second place and earns $331,144.

Phil Hellmuth earns his 10th gold bracelet and $631,863.

congratulations to phil hellmuth. there is a hand there when [hil hell muth went all in with 55 and was called by Helpi's A6os. Hellmuth flopped a set but the flop was also three diamonds. Helppi improved and filled his flush with a Queen of Diamonds on the turn. At that moment i would love to see Phil's reaction. But then the river was another queen giving Phil the boat. That hand would be great to see on tv, congrats to phil.

It's also great to see Juha HU against Hellmuth. For those that don't know/remember/care Juha was/is an online player that won the first UB Aruba event. He defeated all the amateurs to earn the right to go HU against the winner of the 'Pro' division (can't remember if it was Hellmuth or Gordon he went up against. I remember it was a Phil).

I think this episode was the very first episode of WPT that I watched and, ultimately (pardon the pun), was what got me started playing online poker after I downloaded the UB client.

congrats Phil...

Hellmuth is probable the greatest holdem tourney player ever... 10 bracelets, all in holdem, doesnt get any better than that.

I also see him going deep in the ME as well, he has been playing through these bigger fields very well this year. The other fields are nothing compared to the ME field but still...

I'm going to disagree with the "greatest holdem tourney player" ever comment. I'm fairly certain that if the big game players (ivey, greenstein, etc.) basically dedicated themselves to solely playing NLHE tournaments (like Hellmuth), they would probably have a more impressive resume than Hellmuth would.

I would agree with Ivey on that comment...

Phil Ivey could be the greatest poker player ever period when it is all said and done.

thats why I said tournament player, if this was cash games Hellmuth would be at the bottom of my list
