About Benny Glaser

Born 1989. Benny Glaser is a British poker player.

World Series of Poker Glaser has won nine events and made 37 final tables at the WSOP. He won his first bracelet for $136,215 in 2015, playing limit Triple Draw Lowball.

In 2016, Glaser won two bracelets in Omaha High-Low Split in the same week. First, he won the $1,500 event, then four days later won the $10,000 Championship. Glaser joined Jason Mercier and Ian Johns as two-time winners at the 2016 World Series of Poker. In 2021, Glaser won the $10,000 Razz Championship, and in 2023 he added the $10,000 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw Championship. In the 2025 WSOP, he won a $1,500 Dealer's Choice event for his sixth career bracelet. He won his seventh career bracelet in the same World Series in a $1,500 Mixed Omaha event. Glaser then went on to secure his eighth career and third bracelet of the Series in the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball, becoming one of only seven players to win three bracelets in a summer. With his third bracelet win in 2025, Glaser became the first player in WSOP history to win three mixed poker bracelets in one WSOP.
