Phil Hellmuth dodges 12th bracelet

2011 WSOP, WSOP, WSOP Final Table, World series of Poker June 12th, 2011

After Richard Ashby was eliminated in 3rd place, Phil Hellmuth would go heads up with John Juanda for the bracelet. Juanda in my opinion, is the one of the most under rated poker pros. He slips under the radar with his humble tone contrasting the ostentatious Phil Hellmuth. All of Phil Hellmuth’s bracelets have come in holdem. This event is the $10,000 2-7 Draw Lowball Championship which would make it Phil Hellmuth’s first non holdem bracelet if he wins. Unfortunately for Phil, Juanda would prevail and win his 5th bracelet. Phil played a great tournament and had the misfortune of losing a 3-1 chip lead when heads up. John Juanda is a really good player and deserved a win after the fiasco at the beginning of the WSOP.
