Phil Hellmuth fell one spot shy of his 17th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet early Sunday morning in Event #84: $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, but he set an impressive record in the process.
The 1989 world champ reached his seventh final table of the 2021 series, breaking a 28-year record held by An Tran. In 1993, Tran made a final table in six bracelet events, but had very little success late in the tournaments. He not only didn't win a bracelet that year, but he didn't even finish runner-up in any of those final table appearances.
