Event #38: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship Extends to Day 4; Glaser Looking to Secure Fifth Bracelet
Level 24
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
Day 3 of Event #38: $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship has drawn to a close with two players still remaining. Benny Glaser and Oscar Johansson will return for a Day 4 to play heads-up for the gold bracelet and $311,428 first-place prize. Glaser ended with 4,940,000, while Johansson bagged up 2,860,000 in chips.
Day 4 Seating and Chip Counts
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Bets | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Benny Glaser | United Kingdom | 4,940,000 | 25 | |
| 2 | Oscar Johansson | Sweden | 2,860,000 | 14 |
Glaser has proven his 2-7 Limit Triple Draw prowess, having already won a bracelet in the variant back in 2015. Glaser has since won three more WSOP bracelets and is in pole position to win his fifth with a victory tomorrow.
A win for Johansson would be his first bracelet; however, Johansson was runner-up for a 2-7 Limit Triple Draw bracelet back in 2018 and will surely be eager for the gold after coming so close.

Day 3 Action
Day 3 began with just ten players and it was no surprise that George Alexander and Alexander Wilkinson busted shortly after play began given that they both sat down with just a handful of big bets each. More unexpected was Jason Papastavrou, who despite starting the day fourth in chips, was eliminated just shy of the final table after hitting a bad run of cards and running in Julien Martini’s eighty-five and missing his draw to a seven.
It looked to be Glaser’s day, as he immediately began to extend his lead over the remaining players and at one point had twice the amount of chips as second place during seven-handed play. David “Bakes” Baker was down to less than a single big bet during the early stages of the final table, but he hung on long enough to outlast Joao Vieira, who bowed out in seventh place after running into Michael Rodrigues’ seventy-six. Baker busted in sixth shortly thereafter.
Fortunes began to change rather drastically during five-handed play – particularly for Johansson, who went from being last in chips at the final table to having the chip lead after a hot streak of cards sent him soaring. Martini nursed a short stack for much of the final table, and despite doubling up, he was eliminated in fifth place after running into Glaser's "number two" (7x6x4x3x2x).
Four-handed play lasted for two full levels, with the chip lead exchanging hands several times, before Sampo Ryynanen was eliminated in fourth place after losing a couple key pots to Rodrigues and ultimately busting against Glaser's eight-seven.
Rodrigues found himself short and made his last stand on the final hand of the night, but ended up busting to Glaser after drawing to an ace.
Glaser and Johansson will return June 18 at 2 p.m. and play down to a winner. Action will resume on level 25, which features 50,000/100,000 blinds and 100,000/200,000 limits. Any breaks will be discretionary on the players and staff.
