Mike Leah Wins Third WSOP Bracelet, Nearly Takes Fourth Same Day

Mike Leah achieved his third World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet on Monday in the $600 Ultra Stack event on GGPoker Ontario. He nearly added a fourth later that day in the $400 PLOSSUS, marking a major milestone in his 20-year career, which has already seen nearly $10 million in tournament winnings.

Third WSOP Bracelet for Mike Leah

Leah’s victory in the $600 Ultra Stack makes it three WSOP bracelets to his name. He previously won his first at the 2014 WSOP Asia-Pacific (APAC) festival and his second in the €2,750 Rounder Cup during the 2026 WSOP Europe (WSOPE). His latest win earned him $47,000, and he updated followers on the progress through his X (formerly Twitter) account throughout the day.

Both the Ultra Stack and the PLOSSUS Day 2s started at 6pm, with Leah already in position at the Ultra Stack final table and among the final 61 players in the PLOSSUS event. Within just over two hours, he closed out the Ultra Stack for his third bracelet and switched focus to the PLOSSUS.

Push for a Fourth Bracelet in the $400 PLOSSUS

Shortly after his Ultra Stack win, Leah advanced to the final table of the $400 PLOSSUS. Entering with 63 big blinds and fourth in chips among seven players, he was well-positioned as action tightened. 'Alex Di felice' led the table with a 94-big-blind stack.

The critical hand for Leah came with five players remaining. He played a pot worth 29 million chips versus the chip leader — a confrontation that represented nearly 70% of all chips in play. With the money all-in on the turn, Leah held 60% equity but was ultimately outdrawn on the river, narrowly missing the opportunity to take a dominant chip lead and control of the event.

Leah earned an additional $16,000 in prize money and bounties for his PLOSSUS finish. After this close call he updated his X bio to: "Dad x 2, WSOP bracelets x 3 – Really want to increase one of those totals."

2026 WSOP Online Ontario: Upcoming Bracelet Events

The 2026 WSOP Online Ontario festival has two bracelets left to be awarded. The $525 Closer Bounty event is set for October 4, and the $1 million guaranteed Main Event will resume on October 5.

Ontario remains a key regulated market for online poker, with GGPoker Ontario hosting major series in partnership with the WSOP. Players interested in upcoming events can follow the news and events sections for full schedules and entry information.

High Stakes, Close Calls, and Player Momentum

Leah’s near-double-bracelet performance underlines the variance and drama present in back-to-back deep runs across large-field online events. Final table chip counts, prize jumps and critical hands like the 29-million-chip faceoff in the PLOSSUS shape these stories. The limited number of bracelets available in each series means every close finish adds a new layer of intensity for top professionals and followers alike.
