Hellmuth to Make Another Run at 14th Bracelet in Event #15
Earlier this week, Phil Hellmuth was denied his 14th bracelet when he finished runner-up to Ted Forrest in Event #7: $1,500 Seven-Card Razz. It was a heart-breaking defeat for the "Poker Brat," but he didn't stay down long as he's making yet another run at gold here in the 2014 World Series of Poker Event #15: $3,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold’em.
Two days ago this tournament began with 810 players, but now just 15 remain with Heinz Kamutzki leading the way with 841,000. However, if he hopes to capture the $508,640 first-place prize he'll need to overcome some stiff competition. Of course there is Hellmuth, who is currently sixth in chips with 491,000, but also Davidi Kitai (815,000), Pratyush Buddiga (760,000), Gordon Vayo (483,000), Ryan Olisar (444,000), Vladimir Geshkenbein (178,000), and Tony Ruberto (98,000).
Coincidentally, today California Chrome will be going for horse racing's Triple Crown at the Belmont Stakes (the last was way back in 1978), and one of poker's few Triple Crown winners (WSOP bracelet, World Poker Tour title, and European Poker Tour title) is still in the field. We're spreaking of Kitai, who woke up with pocket kings in the last hand of Day 2 to eliminate Jake Toole in 16th place and cripple Ruberto.
Here's how things stack up at the start of Day 3:
| Table | Seat | Player | Chip Count |
|---|---|---|---|
| 445 | 1 | Heinz Kamutzki | 841,000 |
| 445 | 2 | Ryan Olisar | 444,000 |

| 440 | 5 | Bill Burford | 454,000 |
| 440 | 6 | Artem Metalidi | 448,000 |

Hellmuth: 
Korik: 
it was one of tournament poker's many coinflip scenarios and one that Hellmuth would lose. The 
flop was safe as it gets for pocket sevens, and the 
turn kept them ahead. The 
river completed the board and Korik's double up.
Vladimir Geshkenbein needled Hellmuth by saying: "Oh Phil! What are you doing? Putting your money in with ace-high."
Hellmuth responded by saying he lost every flip he played on Day 2 but was still among the chip leaders.

Andrade seemed irritated that Hellmuth called 20,000 on the flop and began to voice his frustrations. Hellmuth jabbed back, and it looks like we can expect some verbal jousting from these two here in the early goings.
