James Schaaf wins Event 51 - Phil Hellmuth comes in third

Phil Hellmuth was close getting his twelth bracelet in the $1500 H.O.R.S.E. If he would have won the 51st event of the 2008 WSOP his record breaking bracelet would also have been his first bracelet in a non-Hold'em game. Well he did not win this time, coming in third out of 803 players.

Phil Hellmuth is still the player with the most bracelets in the WSOP history. His eleven titles is one more than Doyle Brunson's and Johnny Chan's ten each.

James Schaaf had never previously cashed in a WSOP event before he took his first bracelet where the other results were as follows:

1 James Schaaf $256 412
2 Tam "Tommy" Hang $158 933
3 Phil Hellmuth Jr. $93 168
4 Esther Rossi $68 505
5 Jason Dollinger $54 804
6 Sam Silverman $42 996
7 Victor Ramdin $32 992
8 Matt Grapenthien $27 511
9 Edward Brogdon $22 031
