A jubilant Phil Hellmuth celebrated his 13th World Series of Poker win, breaking his own record for number of gold bracelets won.

“I played the best poker of my life in this tournament,” he proclaimed, having led throughout the Final Thursday and ultimately defeating Ukrainian Sergii Baranov.

The shout outs were prevalent throughout the Twitter universe, even resulting in the “Texas Dolly” Doyle Brunson uttering a rare curse word.
