Benny Glaser Wins Second Bracelet in a Week at 2025 WSOP
At the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas, Benny Glaser has won his second bracelet in a week. These back-to-back victories bring Glaser’s total to seven WSOP bracelets. Simultaneously, Mateusz Moolhuizen and Bouwe Claushuis advanced to Day 2 of the $500 COLOSSUS with substantial chip stacks.
Four days prior, Benny Glaser won the $1,500 Dealers’ Choice event for $150,246. This marked the sixth WSOP bracelet in the career of the Mixed Games specialist. Following his win, he entered Event #15, the $1,500 Mixed: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better.
Glaser delivered an impressive performance, reaching the final table of the tournament, which had a field of 1,239 players. He progressed to the final three, alongside David Shmuel, who had also won a WSOP bracelet in the first week.
The final showdown saw Glaser and Shmuel joined by Travis Pearson. Shmuel’s hopes for a second WSOP bracelet in a week were dashed when Pearson eliminated him with trips against a full house. Pearson then attempted to force a quick decision, but it backfired.
Glaser doubled early in the heads-up match and turned it into a real battle. After an hours-long duel, Glaser emerged victorious, achieving one of the most remarkable feats in recent poker history with two bracelets in four days.
