Matt Matros, on cash games vs. tournaments

Annette Obrestad, on living for poker

Phil Hellmuth, on winning his 11th bracelet

admin — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:22:46 +0000

On June 11, I won my record breaking eleventh WSOP (World Series of Poker) bracelet, which was promised — last year — to my sister Molly, who was born 11/11/71. I have given all eleven of my bracelets away to family members (my parents, my wife, my sons, etc.), except the main event bracelet from 1989. In any case, I won event number 15, which was a $1,500 buy-in no limit Hold’em event, with over 2,600 players. Who says the pros can’t beat big fields?
