Winning one WSOP bracelet is hard, but winning two in the same series is tougher. How about two in the first fifteen events? That’s what Benny Glaser just accomplished.
Although difficult, multi-bracelet performances have become a staple of the series in recent years. Glaser has kept that streak going and took a remarkably short time to do so.
Just four days after winning his sixth bracelet, Benny Glaser won his seventh in Event #15: $1,500 Mixed: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better. He bested a field of 1,239 entries for the top prize of $258,193.
All this win does is further confirm Glaser as one of the best mixed game players in the world. He is a true master of knowing how to play Omaha, having won a third bracelet in Omaha. This is now the second time he has won two bracelets in a single week, a feat he also accomplished in 2016.
Glaser’s career encompasses bracelets from several types of poker games, including one in Razz and two in 2-7 lowball triple draw to go with his three in Omaha and one in dealer’s choice.

Glaser’s WSOP Bracelets by the Numbers
The 35-year-old British pro is now in even more elite company. He is one of just eleven players who have won seven or more bracelets in their career. Discussions about his inclusion in the poker hall of fame one day are likely to get even more prevalent in the coming years.
Performing the double-bracelet feat within the first 15 events of the WSOP is the quickest anyone has done so since at least 2015.
This win also puts Glaser well out in front of the 2025 WSOP player of the year race. Although there’s still lots of poker ahead in the series, he’s a serious contender for that honor. He also puts “Team Dinkers” out in front in the $25K Fantasy competition.
