UB.com’s Hellmuth Finished 4th in the WSOP Tournament of Champions Voting
by referralcodefulltilt ~ July 28th, 2010. Filed under: Poker Pro.Ultimate Bet Poker pro and poker bad boy Phil Hellmuth completed in fourth in the 2010 WSOP Tournament of Champions voting at 12,673. Hellmuth possesses the record for number of bracelets won at 11 and emerged the youngest Main Event winner ever in 1989 at age 24. His record stood for 19 years until Peter Eastgate smashed it by two years. Then, Joe Cada won poker’s major tournament at age 21 to become the present record holder.
Other pros landed in fifth and sixth place. Chris Ferguson garnered 11,585 Tournament of Champions votes, just in front of Allen Cunningham, who received 10,486. Ferguson and Cunningham both own five WSOP bracelets, though the former has logged 20 more in the money finishes, 61 to 41. Ferguson won the 2000 Main Event, whereas Cunningham finished fourth in 2006 for $3.6 million and was egged on by ESPN reporter Norman Chad’s cries of, “It’s Allen Cunningham!”
Former Main Event champion Johnny Chan made it seventh in the voting with 10,434, the final player to cover the 10,000 mark.
