Hellmuth Wins 11th Bracelet

From Fox Sports:

Phil Hellmuth now holds the record he's coveted for years.

The "Poker Brat" won his 11th career bracelet at the World Series of Poker Monday night, taking down event No. 15, a $1,500 no-limit hold 'em event.
He outlasted a field of 2,628 to take down the $637,254 first place prize.

He now leads poker legends Johnny Chan and Doyle Brunson by one, and needs just one more final table appearance to tie T.J. Cloutier's record of 39.
Doyle Brunson reportedly bet $300,000 on Hellmuth to win a bracelet this year, then bet another $100,000 at the end of Day 1 when Hellmuth was one of the chipleaders.
