2. Erik Seidel Looking For Ninth Bracelet.

Earlier this week, Phil Ivey came incredibly close to taking down his ninth World Series of Poker bracelet. Unfortunately for Phil, he wasn't able to close the deal after making THREE final tables over the span of just one week.

There is another poker legend who is currently in contention to win his ninth World Series of Poker bracelet - Erik Seidel.

Seidel is currently 6th in chips in the $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball event with just 17 players left.

A win for Seidel would move him into a tie with Johnny Moss on the all-time bracelet list.
