We've got some hot WSOP news for you, and it's clearly the bombshell of the day. The record holder, Phil Hellmuth, was the owner of his 16th gold bracelet to date. But as of today, that claim is no longer valid. He secured his win in the $10,000 buy-in Super Turbo Bounty, which drew 642 entries and a prizepool of $4,044,600. There were 97 players in the money and the min-cash was $10,856. 

However, $803,818 was waiting for the winner, and Phil Ivey, for example, was also fighting for that amount at the final table. However, he ended up finishing in sixth place with a prize of $133,461.

Phil Hellmuth and Justin Zaki were pitted against each other in the final heads-up match after 16 hours of play. Heads-up play lasted just one single hand, in which Phil Hellmuth hit a full house to win his record 17th WSOP gold bracelet. He also bagged himself a full winner's prize of $803,818. Justin Zaki picked up $496,801 for his second-place cash. 

In doing so, PokerBrat further increased his lead in the historical tables and finally sealed why many call him the GOAT of the WSOP series. Do you agree with this statement?
