Day 30 of the 2026 WSOP awarded three bracelets to Joseph Liberta, Harry Rubin, and Josh Reichard. Meanwhile, Benny Glaser leads the final five in the $50k Poker Players Championship.

The 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) experienced one of its busiest days on Day 30, with ten events running concurrently and three coveted gold bracelets awarded to new champions.

The action spanned multiple poker variants, featuring massive field sizes, high-stakes mixed games, and legendary players advancing through the ranks.

In Event #57: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, Harry Rubin secured his first career WSOP bracelet. He achieved this milestone victory with his father watching from the rail.

Meanwhile, the massive field in the $1,500 Millionaire Maker concluded with Joseph Liberta capturing the title. Liberta earned the tournament's premier top prize of $1,250,000 for his victory.

The third bracelet of the day was awarded in Event #62: $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em. Josh Reichard emerged victorious to claim his first career WSOP bracelet, celebrating the milestone achievement in front of a packed rail of his supporters.

Event #64: $25,000 High Roller PLO/NLH Mixed showcased intense competition between No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha specialists during its second day of play.

The tournament featured the bursting of the money bubble, numerous cooler hands, and a wave of late entrants.

While 60 players initially advanced to Day 2, maximum late registration pushed the total field to 134 entries before closing.

Among those entries, 41 players opted to register at the final allowed opportunity, starting their tournament depth with 18 big blinds.

In Event #60: $50,000 Poker Players Championship, the final table line-up was officialized after four intense days of nine-game poker. Considered the pinnacle of the mixed-game schedule, only five players remain in contention.

Benny Glaser completed a wire-to-wire performance, ending the night as the chip leader after experiencing multiple up-and-down swings.

Glaser remains in a prime position to become the first post-poker-boom generation player to secure nine career bracelets.

Event #61: $1,000 Super Seniors played through another ten levels of competition, whittling the field down to just 15 remaining players.

Timothy Garner topped the chip counts after a strong performance during the final levels of the evening, bagging 8,015,000 in chips.

Former poker champion and 2004 WSOP Main Event winner Greg Raymer also survived the day, advancing to the next stage of play with 5,410,000 chips.

In Event #63: $1,000 Mystery Millions, a massive starting field of 2,278 players was reduced to just 125 survivors heading into Day 2.

Simon Higgins bagged the overall chip lead, sitting slightly ahead of Hayato Kitajima. Higgins and Kitajima are the only two players in the tournament field to cross the two million chip mark.
