Event #39 of WSOP 2013, the $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better tournament marked one very peculiar step in poker history: even though not making it to the finale, Phil Hellmuth finished in the money on Day 2 (42nd for $3,246), which means an officially recorded 99th WSOP ITM result, an astonishing record to behold. The runner-up is Men Nguyen with 79 World Series paying finishes.
“Playing my "A Game" every single day now! I'm gonna get my historic 100th cash soon, they CANNOT STOP ME,” Hellmuth tweeted.
The tournament saw another 557 players in addition to Hellmuth, the prize pool totalled at $753,300 and 56 players received a share of it. 155 participants made it to Day 2 and 17 of them could return on Day 3 as well, including Poker Hall of Fame member Linda Johnson, four times WSOP champion Artie Cobb and six times WSOP bracelet holder Layne Flack.
