With a month left to go at the World Series of Poker, Benny Glaser is not only standing in rarified air, but is on the precipice of poker history.

The English pro is trying to become the first player to win four WSOP bracelet in one series after locking up bracelet number-three of the 2025 campaign this weekend in the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball contest that brought in 463 entrants who built the prize pool to $1,030,175.

Glaser took $208K of it for beating the final table that included $11 million dollar man Chris Klodnicki (seventh for $22,542) and David Baker (sixth for $30,690). Glaser denied Schuyler Thornton his first bracelet heads-up. Notable players who ran deep included Johannes Becker, Chino Rheem, Yuval Bronshtein, Ben Yu, Renan Bruschi, Aron Dermer, and Kevin Gerhart.

“That was a really tough battle, and I doubled them up twice, and they both had chip leads for a long time; it really did feel like an uphill climb,” Glaser said after. “I kept trying to get my composure back, trying to focus on each hand at a time, and did my best to absolutely battle. It’s three-handed, you’re playing a lot of hands. You don’t have time to worry about past hands.”

It is the eighth WSOP bracelet for Glaser, who turns 36 on Saturday. He started this year’s run at the end of May by winning the $1,500 Mixed Games Dealers Choice 6-Handed and then the $1,500 Mixed Omaha 8 or Better 7-Handed event within the same week.

He becomes the eighth player to win three WSOP bracelets in one series, joining Walter “Puggy” Pearson (1973), Ted Forrest (1993), Phil Hellmuth (1993), Phil Ivey (2002), Jeff Lisandro (2009), George Danzer (2014), and Scott Seiver (2024).

Both Forrest and Seiver are nominated for this year’s spot in the Poker Hall of Fame, something Glaser won’t be eligible for until he turns 40 in a few years.

If he manages to win his eighth bracelet in the next four weeks, he’ll become the first player to win four in one series.

He’s also right in the thick of it for the WSOP Player of the Year. Even with his victories, he sits in third place on the Player of the Year leaderboard with 2,241.79, behind Joao Vieira and Scott Bohlman, who has eight cashes and one WSOP bracelet so far this summer.

All Glaser’s bracelets came in events that focus on games other than no-limit hold’em. He started this journey in 2015 by winning a ?$1,500 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw event. A year later, he won the ?$1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better and the 10,000 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship within a week.

His fourth bracelet came in the $10,000 Razz Championship, and number five in the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Lowball Triple Draw Championship in 2023.

His eight bracelets put him solely in the seventh spot on the all-time list.
