A decade after his last one, Phil Ivey moves into the #2 spot on the all-time bracelet list with a Triple Draw Championship win.
History has been made in Vegas as the player considered the GOAT by many, Phil Ivey, captures his 11th career bracelet.
He took down the $10,000 Triple Draw Championship for $347,827 at a final table that included Benny Glaser and Jason Mercier.
It is almost ten years to the day since he last won a bracelet in the $1,500 Eight Game Mixed event in 2014.

The win means for the first time he has moved ahead of Doyle Brunson, Johnny Chan and Erik Seidel to become the 2nd biggest bracelet winner. Phil Hellmuth still leads the pack with 17.
It seems fair to say that if Ivey was as motivated by bracelets as Hellmuth was, the two would be neck and neck right now. He did insist that he is still hungry for bracelets in his winner’s interview.
“I’m motivated. If I can play I will. A lot of times I’m not in town,” he said. “I keep showing up. Playing, performing. I want to keep winning.”
