6/12/07posted by Dr. Poker @ 8:35 AM Phil Hellmuth is seeking his 11th bracelet in this year's World Series of Poker. All eyes will be on Hellmuth as he goes for it in the $1,500 buy-in No-Limit Hold'em championship, which has been kicked off yesterday. Hellmuth is one of the most recognizable players in poker and many people have strong opinions of him, negative as well as positive. While his ten WSOP bracelets bring him much recognition, his notoriety is also due to his perceived inability to gracefully handle adversity and defeat. While many professional players and fans alike consider his antics distasteful and abrasive at times, they respect his talent for the game and his personality when he is away from the table. It can be contended that Hellmuth engages in some bad etiquette purposely, since a large part of selling his image is as a "poker brat." Hellmuth also wrote a book titled "Poker Brat", which contains autobiographical material as well as poker advice.Another player getting attention at the WSOP is Vinny Vinh, but not for playing Poker. Vinh did not show up for the second day of the $1000 No Limit Hold'em event at the 2007 WSOP. He was second in chips after the first day, but he remains disapeared. Rumors spread like crazy, is he on drugs or booth? He has been seen alive, but there is no word about his condition, or if he will show up again to play more poker.
