Why This Event Matters
This is one of the more technical and mentally demanding events on the 2026 schedule. Mixed Triple Draw tests a player’s adaptability across three distinct lowball games, rewarding versatility, patience, and precise hand-reading skills. Past champion Benny Glaser is a testament to the caliber of players who thrive here, making it a must-watch for fans of high-level mixed-game action.
Past Champions & History
Benny Glaser captured the 2025 title, turning a $2,500 buy-in into $208,552. Glaser is known for his mixed-game expertise and strategic mastery across multiple Draw variants, and last year's win was his third bracelet of the summer and eighth overall.
After his victory, Glaser told PokerNews, “It feels outrageous, honestly...In a way it’s kind of funny that it’s happening in the lower-stakes buy-ins where the fields are bigger as opposed to the 10k’s which are normally more winnable. Like the second bracelet had 1,239 runners. It’s honestly crazy. Such a grind, such a battle.”
This year, Glaser has carved his name into the Chip Reese Memorial trophy, winning the $50,000 Poker Players Championship for his 9th bracelet, just a few days ago.
In recent years, aside from Glaser, the event has been dominated by American players making up 5 of the last 6 winners, and including names such as Patrick Moulder, Nick Pupillo and Dominick Sarle.
