Has This Unsung Poker Star Been the Top WSOP Performer Since 2015?

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Poker Pro
Poker Pro

Only one player has won seven World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets in the past 10 years of live WSOP events, excluding the COVID year (2020). No, it isn't Shaun Deeb, nor is it Jeremy Ausmus or Phil Hellmuth.

This poker pro doesn't get the mainstream attention he probably deserves. While Hellmuth, Daniel Negreanu, and Phil Ivey get most of the headlines, this individual often flies under the radar. But he's been so dominant at the WSOP for years that the poker world — not just the hardcore crowd — should be made aware of his historic accomplishments.

Hellmuth Storms Out

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Phil Hellmuth
Phil Hellmuth

A loud thump was heard at Table 666 and Phil Hellmuth was out of his seat in frustration. After losing an all-in to Barak Wisbrod, Hellmuth slammed his fists on the bumper of the table before storming out of the Horseshoe Events Centre.

"Seat open," David Coleman said from a nearby table that was still intact.

Meanwhile, Phil Ivey was also eliminated a couple of tables away but not a sound was made as he quietly escaped the tournament area.

Christopher Puetz raised it up to 32,000 from the cutoff and was called by John Riordan and Galen Hall in the blinds. The flop came AK3 and Puetz continued with a bet of 30,000. Riordan got out of the way but Hall continued to see the J on the turn.
