Poker superstar Phil Hellmuth, Jr. has made history becoming the first player ever to win 11 gold bracelets at the World Series of Poker.

The WSOP bracelet is considered the gold standard of the poker world. Each bracelet represents a single win at the world's largest and most prestigious poker tournament.

Coming into this year's World Series of Poker presented by Milwaukee's Best Light, Hellmuth was tied with fellow poker legends Doyle Brunson and Johnny Chan on the all-time list – with ten wins each. Speculation ran as to which player would reach the 11-mark first.
