Seeking the Century Mark

With a total of 99 World Series of Poker cashes to his credit, Phil Hellmuth is poised to make history the next time he makes the money. With a 100th cash here on poker's grand stage, Hellmuth can cement another aspect of his already indomitable legacy.

The "Poker Brat" has been amped up all week in anticipation of securing this historic score, and according to his Twitter account, Hellmuth will try make history here at the ante-only tournament.

Hellmuth has made his customary late arrival, and a quick check of his stack showed that history may have to wait for another day. With his 4,500 starting stack already halved just a few hands into the tournament, Hellmuth has already been seen flinging his cards into the muck with his signature blend of exasperation.
