He's the first person who will tell you that he's going to win another bracelet. But Phil Hellmuth looks like being a man of his word.
Not content with the outright lead with 17 bracelets — and just days after Phil Ivey closed the gap with his 11th — Hellmuth is in contention with just 22 players remaining.
He sits sixth in chips, with Ying Chu from Dylan Lambe. Oh, and did we mention Shaun Deeb is also through to Day 3?
