Johnny Chan Comes Up Short of 11th Bracelet

Somewhere Phil Hellmuth's gargantuan size ego is breathing a sigh of relief.

Starting today third in chips in the $1,500 PLO event at the 2007 WSOP, Johnny Chan was in good position to stand tall with Hellmuth atop the all-time bracelet count. But after showing up two-hands late at the start of the day and by the look of the live reports, making a few poor judgment calls, Chan stood fell short of winning his 11th bracelet and was elimated in 20th place.

Scott Clements is the event's current chipleader with 445,000 and Andy Black is stacked fifth with 152,000.

In related news, Clement's girlfriend is nice to look at. She's a Vegas kind of hottie you'd expect to have her own website, if that helps paint a picture and we mean that totally respectfully. Kind of. Better yet, think this chick. Again, respectfully.
