For a second time in so many days Phil Hellmuth finished second in a World Series of Poker event, failing to gain his 12^th bracelet.

Hellmuth has managed to take in over a half million dollars in just over a week with his strong appearances.

The Seven Card Stud Championship Hi-Lo (8′s or Better) was won by Eric Rodawig. Poker’s bad boy John Racener came in third place.

Here is a look at the final table results:

1. Eric Rodawig, $442,183 2. Phil Hellmuth, $273,233 3. John Racener, $171,122 4. Ted Forrest, $123,904 5. David Benyamine, $96,836 6. Mikhail Savinov, $77,222 7. Joe Tehan, $62,710 8. Ali Eslami, $51,750 9. Antony Lellouche, $43,317
