Phil Hellmuth Falls Short of Bracelet No. 15: "If This Were Chess I Would Have Won"

Poker legend and notorious "Poker Brat" Phil Hellmuth fell short of capturing his record 15th bracelet in the $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em event at the 2015 World Series of Poker, busting in 16th place for a record 111th WSOP cash.

Hellmuth was among the leaders coming into the event's third day and told PokerNews Wednesday night, "I’m not going to blow this."

Today, he built up his stack close to the six-figure mark, and went card dead before trying and failing to push the loose-aggressive Raghav Bansal off a hand and ultimately running nines into Jeff Gross' aces to bow out.
