Published on June 24th, 2013 2:03 am EST

Prior to the 2013 World Series of Poker, the record for the most number of bracelets won by a non-US country at a WSOP was seven.

Canadian players at this year's World Series of Poker have topped that record, as they have managed to take down eight bracelets through the first 38 events of this year's WSOP.

Justin Oliver was the most recent Canadian winner of a World Series of Poker bracelet after he took down Event #38 ($2,500 No Limit Hold'em Four-Handed) for $309,071.
