When you hold the record for the most World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, there are perks.
For Phil Hellmuth, whose 16 bracelets (and counting) may never be touched, one of those perks is his own personal break room at Horseshoe Las Vegas. That's a nice benefit especially on 90-minute dinner breaks.
Hellmuth granted PokerNews access to his small but intimate break room, which is in an undisclosed location. "Don't disclose the location. I don't need fans knocking on the door seeking autographs while I'm trying to rest," the Poker Hall of Famer joked.
Dustin Dirksen: XxXx/Ax6x10x7x
Paulo Gini: Xx2x/10x6x2x2x - folded sixth street
After Paulo Gini called the bring-in, Dustin Dirksen completed and Gini called.
Dirksen then bet fourth street and got a call, then on fifth now holding a very similar board to Gini, Dirksen checked, and then called a bet from Gini.
With Gini pairing his deuce on sixth street, Dirksen fired out a bet, which got a fold from Gini, who showed another deuce in the hole.

David Funkhouser: Ax6x7x/9x3x7x10x
Opponent: XxXxXx/4x6xKx6x
After David Funkhouser limped in after the bring-in, he called a completion after the bring-in folded.
Funkhouser called a bet on fourth street, then bet fifth and sixth with the lead, getting called each time.
On seventh, both players checked and Funkhouser rolled over his nine-seven which was good enough to take the pot.
