On Saturday Phil Hellmuth will find himself amongst the final nine players in the $10k 2-7 No Limit Lowball tournament at the 2011 World Series of Poker, and a win would not only mean increasing his own record of 11 WSOP bracelets, but it would also mark the Poker Brat’s first WSOP bracelet in a non-Holdem tournament, as well as his first bracelet since 2007.

Hellmuth’s path to bracelet #12 will be a very difficult one indeed, considering the final nine players remaining is being talked about as one of the toughest groups of all-time! In addition to Hellmuth the lineup includes: Former Main Event Champion Greg Raymer; WSOP Europe Main Event champion and 4-time WSOP bracelet winner John Juanda; reigning champion in the event David “Bakes” Baker; young guns Joe Cassidy, Steve Sung and Nick Schulman; and veterans Hasan Habib and Richard Ashby.
