Hellmuth wins again

Phil Hellmuth just won his 11th WSOP bracelet, beating a field of more than 2,600 in a $1,500 no-limit event.

It's actually not that surprising. Hellmuth went deep in several of the previous events, and he seems to have a "never give up" attitude at the WSOP that most of the established live tournament pros don't seem to have. Many of them talk about getting chips early or getting out, which is a fine strategy if their time could better be spent in a side game or another tournament.

But they aren't doing everything in their power to win THAT tournament. Hellmuth is.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him go deep again in the main event, something he hasn't done since 2003.
