Phil Hellmuth Does It Again, Captures 14th Bracelet
Phil Hellmuth's closest call at the 2014 WSOP was in the $1,500 Razz event, where he finished runner-up to Ted Forrest. Hellmuth began that heads-up duel with about a 4:1 chip lead, but couldn't close it out.
Fast forward one year and one week and there was Hellmuth again - heads up for a razz bracelet. Though, this time it was in Event #17: $10,000 Razz Championship. Bracelet winner Mike Gorodinsky was in Hellmuth's way this time, but the now 14-time bracelet-winner battled back from a heads-up deficit to make history once again.
"It's an amazing feeling, and it's one of those where I kept my head down the whole time and tried to stay kind of detached from the result. I was just focusing on playing great," said Hellmuth after the win.
