Michael Jordan. Tom Brady. Tiger Woods. Serena Williams. Phil Ivey. What do these five superstars have in common? They're all widely considered the best to have ever done it in their respective sports.

On Thursday, Ivey captured his 11th World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet when he took down Event #29: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship (6-Handed). That puts him alone in second place behind the 17 bracelets Phil Hellmuth holds.

Championship for 61 points), Joao Peres (88 points for finishing 22nd in Event #38: $1,500 Monster Stack), and Chris Vitch (72 points for winning Event #48: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha for his third career gold bracelet).
