What can we say? The poker brat never ceases to entertain the WSOP this year:
| # | Buy-in | Event | Player | Prize |
| 31 | $1,500 | Event #31: No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw | 🇺🇸 Phil Hellmuth | $84,951 |
Event #31: No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw
He finally did it! Starting second in chips at 10 left, Phil Hellmuth made it happen to reach his 16th bracelet, making him even harder to reach in the bracelet race.
“I’ve wanted a deuce-to-seven bracelet ever since the 1980’s because it was the coolest bracelet to win. It’s the one tournament that Chip, Doyle, and all the big named poker players showed up for.”
Phil tried to explain what happened the other days: “I’ve studied these games my whole life, so I have all the knowledge. What’s been killing me is that I get tired and I blow it. Or I get tilted and I blow it. I’ll be down here at the Rio and it’s one in the morning and I’m so tired. And I just play a bunch of bad hands and I’m out.”
Here are the other results of the tournaments:
| Player | Place | Earnings |
| 🇮🇹 Dario Sammartino | 6th | $13,463 |
| 🇺🇸 Ryan Riess | 9th | $7,602 |
| 🇺🇸 Daniel Zack | 29th | $2,674 |
| 🇺🇸 Brian Rast | 39th | $2,445 |
| 🇺🇸 John Racener | 40th | $2,445 |
That’s not all!

20 players are still trying to take the win in the $3,000 Event #32: H.O.R.S.E., featuring Eli Elezra (2nd), Maria Ho (11th) and Daniel Negreanu (14th). 282 players entered the tournaments and $173k is up for the top prize.
