It seems there is no stopping Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser at the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP).

Less than two weeks after securing his 17th career series victory, the online poker legend put on another masterclass on Saturday night by capturing two titles in under three hours.

Glaser's victories push his all-time WCOOP record to an extraordinary 19 titles. His latest victories arrived just as the festival's flagship Main Events kicked off, with over $5.5 million guaranteed across the Low, Medium, and High editions of the 2026 WCOOP Main Event on PokerStars.

Mixed Game Double for Glaser

Glaser's double started with the 102-H: $530 Stud, topping a field of 36 entries to win $8,357. Then, less than three hours later, he won the rescheduled 90-H: $530 HORSE for $11,082.

It's Glaser's fourth WCOOP title in HORSE alone, and his first in Stud — the 12th different poker format Glaser has won a WCOOP title in. It's also the third year in which he's won multiple WCOOP titles, after 2022 (four titles) and 2023 (seven titles).

"It's been a good WCOOP so far," Glaser said on Instagram. "I haven't played much of it this series [...] but that's now up to 19 WCOOP titles, as the most in the world, bust also now I'm tied for the most COOP titles overall, at 21 [alongside Patrick "pads1161" Leonard."

"And there are three more days of it to go to finish strong!"

Meanwhile, the three WCOOP Main Events with over $5.5 million in guarantees are underway. Late registration is open until just after 6 p.m. (BST).

Three Players Flying the Flag for PokerStars Team Pro in Low Main Event

The $109 buy-in WCOOP-L Main Event currently sits with around 3,550 entries from a field of close to 12,000 with registration still open. With the average currently around 84,000, Marle "MarlzTV" Spragg is the best-placed PokerStars Team Pro with 68,000.

Ben "Spraggy" Spragg is also through to Day 2, along with Sebastian "peace&love" Huber fresh from his third WCOOP title win just last week.

The current chip leader is "InLoving" from Ukraine on 502,565. Monday's action will see the tournament play down to 160 players remaining.

Big Names in Medium Main Event

Another Ukrainian sits in pole position in the $1,050 WCOOP-M Main Event, with "Splatt23" bagging 1,123,841 chips from a 100,000 starting stack.

Currently, 690 of 1,884 players remain with Ben "Spraggy" Spragg the only PokerStars Team Pro still in, with 271,546 chips. Other notables include Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot (797,083), Rayan "Beriuzy" Chamas (780,461), Preben "prebz" Stokkan (571,538), and Patrick "pads1161" Leonard (468,810).

Former Champions in the Mix in High Main Event

All eye are on the $10,300 WCOOP-H Main Event, with 69 of 222 remaining.

Defending champion Gilles "TaxationIsTheft" Simon, who won $736,327 in last year's Main Event, has already bust twice and has one re-entry remaining. Meanwhile, 2024 champion Samuel "€urop€an" Vousden sits last in chips, while Ivan "ILS007" Stokes who won in 2023 sits 42nd in chips.

Chip leader "Riverbanged" finished second to "stek94" in the 2024 WCOOP-M Main Event after a three-way deal and is well-placed in this year's High Main Event.
