Benny Glaser showed why he is one of the best mixed-game players in the Universe this week by winning his sixth and seventh World Series of Poker bracelets one after the other.

Glaser began his 2025 WSOP slate by jumping into the $1,500 Mixed Games Dealers Choice 6-Handed event that began on May 30. After two days, Glaser was the last of 597 entries standing, beating Mathew Schreiber, who won his only bracelet in a H.O.R.S.E event in 2017, heads-up.

His sixth WSOP bracelet came with $150,246.

The next day, Glaser entered the $1,500 Mixed Omaha 8 or Better 7-Handed event. This time, he had to make it through a field of 1,239 entries to claim his seventh WSOP bracelet — all of which came in Omaha or mixed-game events.

Glaser, a classically-trained guitarist from the U.K. who began began his poker adventure grinding $2/4 limit games online, knew the probabilities of going back-to-back in events were long, but admitted he felt a little magic as the Omaha event progressed.

“I generally try to be realistic and think that mostly, yes, it’s a distribution of results,” Glaser told Tim Fiorvanti after. “But I think in this case, there was a little bit of something where people knew I had just won, like it was quite big news. I think in a way, it helped, especially on Day 2, I think people were a little bit scared of me in this, which was kind of nice in a way. I feel like I used that to my advantage a bit.”

Just a bit, Benny?

Still, the final table battle would be a very tough poker test for the 35-year-old pro. Finishing third was David Shmuel, who was also trying to win his second WSOP bracelet of 2025 after winning the fourth event of the series, a $1,500 Limit Omaha 8 or Better 8-Handed contest that brought in 910 entries.

But it was the heads-up battle with Travis Pearson that would really test Glaser’s mettle. The two went at it for hours, and Glaser was impressed with Pearson’s toughness and sticking power. Pearson, who has $1.3 million in tourney earnings, was going for his first bracelet after coming as close as possible to winning one in a $1,500 Omaha Hi/Lo 8 or Better in 2021.

“This one feels more outrageously surreal.” Glaser told reporters after victory. “It still hasn’t sunk in. There were one or two hands that were pretty rough, but I was able to re-center myself back in. I was potentially going for Player of the Year anyway but I think this win makes it clear now that I’ll be going for it.”

It’s the second time Glaser went back-to-back in events. In 2016, he did it by winning both the $1,500 and $10,000 Omaha eight-or-better events.

His seven WSOP bracelets ties him with Men Nguyen, Daniel Negreanu, Billy Baxter, John Hennigan, and Scott Seiver in seventh on the all-time list.
