A new WSOP record was broken Monday, June 11, on the poker tournament's 11th day by the "poker brat", Phil Hellmuth, who won his 11th gold bracelet.

Hellmuth won the $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event after three days, in which he dominated the field.

Until yesterday, three poker legends held 10 WSOP gold bracelets – Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson and Phil Hellmuth. Each of them won 10 WSOP events over the years and there were many speculations on who will be the one to win the next one.

Besides winning the gold bracelet, designed and made by luxury Swiss watchmaker Corum, Hellmuth also won a cash prize of $637,254.
