It has finally happened as Phil Hellmuth shattered his own record winning his 12th World Series of Poker bracelet.

Hellmuth won the $2500 buy-in Seven-Card Razz tournament, which concluded late on a Sunday night.

From the WSOP.com website: 

Hellmuth now holds a comfortable -- and some might say insurmountable -- two-bracelet lead over his two closest rivals – poker legends Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan, who each have ten wins.  And given his age which is now 47, one must presume Hellmuth isn’t quite finished yet, nor is he ready to hang it up and call it a career.  

If any suspense remained about Hellmuth’s next big score in poker, it wasn’t so much if but when he would finally hit the magical milestone of one-dozen WSOP wins.  Yet what was most surprising was tonight's victory came playing a game -- Razz -- not normally associated with Hellmuth’s undisputed reputation as a Hold’em master.

Indeed, all of Hellmuth’s 11 previous gold bracelet wins had taken place in one form of Hold’em or another – Limit, Pot-Limit, and No-Limit, you name it.
