Room at the Top?

Phil Hellmuth, of course, holds the record for most World Series of Poker bracelets with eleven. But will he hold that record by himself by the end of the day. On the ESPN Feature Table Johnny Chan is in the quarterfinals of the $10,000 Heads-Up World Championship, and should Chan defeat three opponents in one-on-one play today he’d tie Phil with eleven bracelets apiece.
Chan was the first player to win ten bracelets, though his mark was matched less than a week later by Doyle Brunson. Phil Hellmuth then caught them both and then surpassed them when he won his eleventh bracelet in 2007. That’s the last time these three legends engaged in one-upsmanship with each other…until today?
