It was the river that was the grenade: 9c. The turn was a blank, 9s, and this time, Sepiol check-called a 2.6 million-chip bet from Glaser. The flop was a biggie: Ks-5c-4c, giving Glaser bottom set and Sepiol top pair with the second-nut flush draw. Glaser raised to 250,000 pre-flop, Sepiol raised to 1 million, and Glaser called. Glaser had pocket 4’s on the button, while Sepiol held Kc-Qc. With the field down to 56 players, Glaser had about 9 million chips and Dan Sepiol had a little over 11.1 million. In one of those hands, one of the broadcast announcers said that if either of the two players involved made the final table, they would remember this one. There wasn’t one single hand that got him such a huge lead – it’s not like he doubled-up to 133.6 million – but rather lots of healthy pots, good-sized pots that let him do more than just chip away. Glaser went into Sunday’s action as the chip leader, though his stack was not nearly as commanding as it is now (in fairness, that’s typically how tournaments work). Holding 133.6 million chips, he is about 53 million ahead of his closest competitor, and has almost as many chips as the rest of the table combined.Īfter Glaser is Eliot Hudon with 80.8 million chips he and Glaser are in charge, combining for nearly three quarters of the chips on the table. The 2022 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas has its final table, but right now, it should be called the “Benny Glaser” show, as Glaser has a sizeable chip lead with just six players remaining.
