Canadian pro Mike Leah almost doubled his tally of WSOP bracelets in a single day.
It's not easy to win one. With close to $10 million in tournament winnings at the start of this week, in a career spanning 20 years, Leah had two bracelets to his name.
He won his first in 2014 at the WSOP APAC festival, and followed that up with a win in the €2,750 Rounder Cup at the 2026 WSOPE earlier this year.
His X bio read: "Dad x 2, WSOP bracelets x 2 – Really want to increase one of those totals."
He did that on Monday, winning number three in the $600 Ultra Stack event on GGPoker Ontario, and almost made it four immediately afterward in the $400 PLOSSUS.
He chronicled his journey for fans on his X account. Both Day 2s started at 6pm, with Leah at the final table of the Ultra Stack and among the final 61 in the PLOSSUS.
Leah wins his third bracelet
Just over two hours later, Leah had secured his third bracelet and $47K in the $600 Ultra Stack.
After another two hours, he made the final table of the $400 PLOSSUS, sitting fourth of seven players, with a healthy stack of 63 big blinds. 'Alex Di felice' was the chip leader with 94 big blinds.
With five players left, Leah played a 29-million-chip pot against the chip leader – almost 70% of the total chips in play.
The money went in on the turn and Leah had the best of it, with 60% equity:
- Mike Leah:
- Alex Di felice:
- Board:
Unfortunately for Leah, the 
river was one of the cards he needed to fade.
"1 card away from having ALL THE CHIPS," Leah posted, with a heartbreak emoji. He picked up another $16K in prize money and bounties. And he got to update his X bio, which now reads: "Dad x 2, WSOP bracelets x 3 – Really want to increase one of those totals."
There are two bracelets left to be awarded in the 2026 WSOP Online Ontario festival: the $525 Closer Bounty on October 4 and the $1M guaranteed Main Event, which resumes on October 5.
