Published on June 19th, 2012 2:51 pm EST
Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey both made the final table of Event #32 ($10,000 HORSE) last night, but neither player was able to add to their collection of bracelets. Phil Hellmuth, fresh off of winning his 12th bracelet in the $2,500 RAZZ event earlier this month, was looking to secure his 13th WSOP bracelet, while Phil Ivey was looking to win his ninth.
In the end, both players left empty-handed, as Hellmuth was eliminated from the tournament in 4th place, and Ivey hit the rail in 5th.
Here is how the tournament ended up finishing out:
1. David Baker, $451,779
2. John Monnette, $279,206
3. Paul Sokoloff, $183,784
4. Phil Hellmuth, $134,056
5. Phil Ivey, $99,739
6. Abe Mosseri, $75,511
7. Matt Waxman, $58,093
8. Dan Kelly, $45,360

After boycotting last year's World Series of Poker due to the Full Tilt Poker situation, Phil Ivey has been on a mission this year.
Last night's final table was Ivey's fourth of this year's World Series of Poker. Ivey also made the final table of the $5,000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo (7th, $34,595), the $10,000 Pot Limit Hold'em (2nd, $275,559) and the $5,000 Omaha Hi/Lo ($136,046).
Despite his fantastic results in this year's World Series of Poker, Ivey has fallen even further behind Phil Hellmuth in the all-time bracelet race.
