Three bracelets in three weeks: a show of strength from a player who could one day threaten Phil Hellmuth.

When legends are forged, there's rarely any room left for chance. In just three weeks, Benny Glaser has branded the 2025 WSOP with his name in fire. Three tournaments, three victories, three bracelets: a stratospheric performance achieved by only seven players before him in a single summer.

 

The 36-year-old Englishman just joined this elite club by taking down Event #63: $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball, after already conquering the $1,500 Dealers Choice and the $1,500 Mixed PLO8. An insane streak, achieved in fields of more than 400 players, facing off against the world’s best specialists.

 

A triple crown in three different variants

 

 

With 463 players to overcome, Benny Glaser had to rely on his full technical arsenal to master a complex format mixing 2-7 Lowball, A-5 Low, and Badugi. In heads-up play, it was American Schuyler Thornton who finally fell, leaving Glaser to collect $208,552 and, more importantly, his eighth WSOP bracelet.

This eighth title in just ten years places him among poker’s all-time greats, equaling Johnny Moss (9), and closing in on legends like Erik Seidel, Johnny Chan, Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, and of course Phil Hellmuth, the record holder with 17 bracelets.

But this year, the story seems to be written with Benny Glaser’s cards. Already at the top of the 2025 WSOP Player of the Year leaderboard, he has declared his intent to "go all in" for the title — a title that would crown a decade of dominance in mixed games.

Calm, sharp, and unstoppable, Benny Glaser has never seemed so close to an even greater destiny. At this rate, the bracelet record — once thought untouchable — might just find a new owner in the years to come.
