Phil 'er Up!

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 700 ante
The Face of an Eleven Time WSOP Champion
The Face of an Eleven Time WSOP Champion

Phil Ivey's table recently broke and the eight-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner was moved to table #435, smack dab to the left of eleven-time WSOP bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth. We're just as excited as you to see the sparks fly as the two most notable "Phils" in poker collide.

Table #435 in fact is the most stacked table in the room in terms of WSOP bracelets. This one table alone holds the recipients of 22 bracelets. Here is a look back at the bracelet winners from this table as they each look to add one more to their collection

Verkaik announced that he had kings and showed the {K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. Friedman didn't look happy and mucked his hand.

Brunson Hassles Hellmuth

Brunson: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {x-}
Hellmuth: {x-}{x-} / {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} / {x-}
Scott: {x-}{x-} / {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} / {x-}

Drew Scott bet on fourth street and was called by Todd Brunson and Phil Hellmuth. Hellmuth opted to seize control of the hand and bet out on both fifth and sixth. Much to Hellmuth's chagrin, both Scott and Brunson decided to stick around.

All three players checked seventh and Hellmuth showed {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Scott mucked his hand and Hellmuth stood up with excitement, hoping that he would be able to scoop this rather large pot. Brunson, however, had other ideas in mind, as he tabled {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for trip treys. Brunson's winning of the pot sent Hellmuth walking away from the table, muttering obscenities under his breath.

This Game is Hard-ie

Hardie: {x-}{x-} / {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Bari: {x-}{x-} / {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

We found George Hardie push out a bet on fifth street that was quickly called by Allen Bari. When sixth street was dealt out, Hardie bet out again, but this time Bari did not act so quick. Bari shuffled his hole cards in his hands before sighing and sending them sailing to the muck.
