Here's a quick list of the 9 WSOP bracelets Phil Hellmuth has won:
- 2003, Limit Holdem, 1st place
- 2001 No Limit Holdem, Championship Event, 5th place
- 2001 No Limit Holdem, 1st place
- 1997 Pot Limit Holdem, 1st place
- 1993 No Limit Holdem, ($3000 event), 1st place
- 1993 No Limit Holdem, ($1500 event), 1st place
- 1993 Limit Holdem, 1st place
- 1992 Limit Holdem, 1st place
- 1989 No Limit Holdem, Championship Event, 1st place
The interesting thing about that list to me is the number of 1st place finishes in 1993. While I was graduating from college, Phil Hellmuth was winning THREE WSOP bracelets.
