Phil Hellmuth has reached a final table at WSOP Paradise as the all-time bracelet leader looks to extend his lead with an 18th bracelet.

Hellmuth is one of nine players remaining in Event #12: $10,000 GGMillion$ NLH Championship, an event being live reported by PokerNews.

Hellmuth is seated in the one-seat and toward the bottom of the counts, but he was front and center in the final table photo alongside the likes of Johannes Straver, Rui Neves and Arthur Conan. There are a total of 17 bracelets between the table, and they all belong to the Poker Brat.

A Change of Luck in Paradise

The final table appearance comes at the tail-end of a WSOP Paradise stop that has been far from kind to Hellmuth. He busted the $50 million guaranteed Super Main Event after calling off a 25-plus big blind stack with queen-deuce offsuit and later stone bubbled the same event.

But Mr. Positivity isn’t one to give up. While many top pros have already left the island, Hellmuth stuck around to the end and now finds himself eyeing an 18th bracelet. He also finished 14th in the $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship for $107,130.

Hellmuth earned his most recent bracelet at the 2023 WSOP with a victory in $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty for $803,818. Two years earlier, took down a $1,500 No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw event for $84,851 and a 16th bracelet.

FAQ
