After the conclusion of a hand in which Andrew Kelsall's ace-low won a battle of the blinds with Brian Hastings, talk turned to the assembled WSOP bracelets at the table.
Kelsall listed them off, "I've got one, Phil [Hellmuth] of course, you've got sixteen, Brian [Hastings] you've got six, and Brad [Ruben] you've got four. That's 27 at this table. Do you think we up that to 28 in this tournament?"
"I only know one thing, it won't be Jon [Turner]," joked Ruben.
"Who has a bracelet in 2-7?" asked Kelsall.
"I have a triple draw," replied Hastings.
"I have one," said Hellmuth. "And two seconds, and a fourth. I finished second to Billy Baxter in 1993. Smaller field, but 58 of the best players in the world. I laid down a pair of fives when I was short-stacked and it cost me the bracelet. TJ was in that, Doyle... It was the event for us."
