All eyes were on Phil Hellmuth on the final table of the 2014 World Series of Poker Asia Pacific $2,200 AUD no-limit hold’em six-max event as he went for his record 14th WSOP gold bracelet. Finally the “Poker Brat” fell short, placing fourth for $34,247.
Instead it was Australian local Alex Antonios who emerged victorious, topping the sector of 243 entries to take home his first actual gold bracelet and $113,353.
“It’s obviously tough to win a bracelet,” said the 25-year-old after play ended. “People like Phil was around for 25 years and feature only won 13. I TRULY lucked out in this one and it should never happen again, but I'D definitely like another shot at a bracelet.”
The cash-game professional from Syndey not just needed to take care of Hellmuth on the six-handed final table but additionally 2014 WSOP November Niner Bruno Politano. The Brazilian entered the overall day with an overly short stack, however, and ended up not posing much of a threat as he was eliminated first in sixth place for $17,435.
