Glaser, from Southampton, UK, was very confident in his triple draw game entering the event.
“This is one of my very best games,” he said. “I play it all the time, mostly online. So, I wasn’t surprised to win the bracelet in this event. In fact, I thought this one gave me the best chance. It means a lot to win it. The prestige and the accomplishment of this – it’s surreal.”
Glaser overcame a final table that included former bracelet winners Brock Parker (2nd) and Andrew Brown (5th), as well as notable pros Noah Bronstein (3rd), Sergey Rybachenko (4th) and Jon Turner (6th).
