Bracelet Winners on Day 30

Joseph Liberta won Event #50: $1,500 Millionaire Maker for $1,250,000 and his first bracelet, topping a field of more than 13,000 entries across all flights.
Harry Rubin claimed his first bracelet in Event #57: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, with his father watching on from the rail. Josh Reichard finally secured his first WSOP bracelet in Event #62: $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em in front of a packed rail of supporters.

Benny Glaser led wire-to-wire on Day 4 and enters the final day as chip leader with 8,610,000, chasing a ninth bracelet that would make him the first player of the post-poker-boom generation to reach that milestone.
