2025 World Series of Poker
Benny Glaser's remarkable 2025 WSOP is continuing this Saturday as the seven-time bracelet winner has reached the final table of Event #56: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball.
The British pro, who has already taken down the $1,500 Dealer’s Choice and $1,500 Mixed: PLO Hi-Lo 8 or Better at this year’s series, will now be hoping to complete a hat trick of bracelets and strengthen his case for the 2025 WSOP Player of the Year title.
The event drew 463 entries and will award $208,552 to the winner. Play is scheduled to conclude today, Saturday, June 21.

A recreational poker player has accused a well-known Los Angeles high-stakes cash game pro of angle shooting during Day 1c of the $1,500 Millionaire Maker at the 2025 World Series of Poker.
Brent Philbin, who has $226,155 in live earnings according to The Hendon Mob, took to both X and the r/poker subreddit to call out GGPoker ambassador Andy Tsai — better known as Andy Stacks — for what he claims was unethical behavior at the table. Tsai, a regular on streamed cash games like Live at the Bike and Hustler Casino Live, quickly found himself at the center of a heated exchange.
The first week of the 2025 World Series of Poker came out swinging with big bluffs, brutal beats, and more than a few moments that had the entire poker world talking.
Whether it was Nick Schulman dropping the coldest line of the summer, Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek shoving blind into four premium hands, or Christopher Zollo turning a meme-worthy alias into a legit bracelet run, the first seven days of poker's biggest festival did not disappoint.
