Watch Phil Hellmuth win his 15th World Series of Poker bracelet with pocket 3s
Say what you will about Phil Hellmuth, who came to the World Series of Poker's Main Event dressed as Thor, caused some controversy, and was eliminated.
But the guy is a poker legend for a reason.
He won his 15th - that's right, 15th - World Series of Poker bracelet when he took down the field in the $5,000 No Limit Hold 'Em event (30 minute levels):

He'll also take home $485,082 and, per WSOP.com, he's made over $14 million in career earnings.
He spent some of his post-winning time retweeting the congrats that came his way:
He may be a love him or hate him character but no one can deny that @phil_hellmuth is the greatest Tournament poker player in history. Congratulations on number 15
