Phil Hellmuth leads the way with 17 WSOP bracelets, but announced he will sit this year’s tournament out due to the demanding schedule. It would have been the first time in 37 years that Hellmuth had not competed. However, he announced on X that he will play the main event, after all.
Hellmuth posted, “I am 100% playing in the @WSOP Main Event!
I’ll be coming in themed as “Highway To Hellmuth.” Might dress up like an 80’s rock star. Can’t wait to share the artwork we have for this Grand Main Event Entrance”
Hellmuth is +300 to win an 18th bracelet.
Other big names have already been making a mark on the tournament. Daniel Negreanu narrowly missed out on winning the $10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship, finishing runner-up to Ryan Bambrick. Negreanu pocketed $313,615 and looks good to make a profit in the main event at -120 on Bet105.
Phil Ivey is also competing at the event and is +200 to win his 12th bracelet. A range of other markets are available for betting. The main event runs from July 2 to July 16, with the final table on the last two days. The event takes place at the Horseshoe Las Vegas & Paris Las Vegas.
