(PRESS RELEASE) - Phil Hellmuth Jr., who became the youngest World Champion of Poker by defeating Johnny Chan in the WSOP main event in 1989, returned to an elite club early Wednesday, beating 1,690 players and tying poker legends Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan for most wins by winning his 10th World Series of Poker bracelet.

Doyle Brunson, widely regarded as the legend of modern day poker, said he'd congratulate Hellmuth when he saw him. "I was pulling for him," said Brunson. "This creates more competition. And next year, it's going to be a shootout between him, me and Johnny."

The great success of online poker and its explosion on a global scale have drawn a huge amount of players from all over the world to the World Series of Poker.
