British poker sensation Benny Glaser has once again cemented his legacy by capturing his seventh World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, this time in a commanding performance at a Mixed Games event during the 2025 series in Las Vegas. Known for his skill across a wide variety of poker variants, Glaser demonstrated poise, precision, and deep strategic knowledge throughout the tournament.
A Master of Mixed Games
Unlike the more commonly televised No-Limit Hold’em events, Mixed Games tournaments rotate through a series of poker formats — including Stud, Razz, Omaha Hi-Lo, and 2-7 Triple Draw — requiring players to adapt quickly and maintain a versatile skillset. For Glaser, this environment plays directly into his strengths.
Throughout the multi-day tournament, Glaser exhibited dominance in every format, consistently outmaneuvering a field filled with elite all-rounders. His ability to shift gears from aggressive to passive, from drawing to trapping, proved crucial in building his chip lead entering the final table.
The Final Table Showdown
The final table featured seasoned names like Daniel Negreanu, John Monnette, and Mike Matusow — all veterans of WSOP mixed events. Yet it was Glaser who controlled the narrative. In a key hand during a round of Stud Hi-Lo, Glaser scooped a massive pot by making a wheel straight and low hand, effectively crippling one of his closest competitors.
He closed the tournament in dominant fashion during the Omaha Hi-Lo round, securing the final pot with a nut low and top two pair. His seventh bracelet earned him over $250,000 and further recognition as one of the most accomplished mixed-game players of his generation.
A Historic WSOP Run
This win marks Glaser’s third WSOP title in a mixed format and his seventh overall, placing him among the elite ranks of players with seven or more bracelets. What sets Glaser apart is the diversity of his victories — his bracelets span several poker variants, highlighting his complete understanding of the game beyond Hold’em.
At just 35 years old, Glaser is now Britain’s most decorated WSOP player and a growing contender for the Poker Hall of Fame in the coming years.
Reactions from the Poker World
News of Glaser’s victory spread rapidly across the poker community. Prominent players and analysts were quick to offer congratulations, including a tweet from Phil Hellmuth, who called Glaser “a technician of the game” and “one of the most underrated forces in poker today.”
Meanwhile, fans on poker forums and social media praised his calm demeanor and textbook-perfect decision-making throughout the tournament.
