Benny Glaser might just be the G.O.A.T. of mixed-game tournaments.
A mere four days after winning the $1,500 Dealer's Choice event, the U.K.-based poker phenom has done it again by besting a 1,239-entry field in Event #15: $1,500 Mixed: Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better for his seventh World Series of Poker bracelet and the $258,193 first-place prize. The impressive feat mirrors his 2016 summer run — wherein Glaser won two Omaha bracelets within a week.
All of Glaser's bracelets come from non-Hold'em events and he now sits in elite company alongside 11 other players who have won seven or more bracelets, including Scott Seiver, Billy Baxter, and Daniel Negreanu. When added along with his numerous SCOOP and WCOOP titles in mixed-games, Glaser's legacy is clearly cemented, not only in the mixed-game community but in the poker world at large.

"I'm feeling amazing," Glaser said shortly after winning his heads-up battle against runner-up Travis Pearson. "This one feels more outrageously surreal. It still hasn't sunk in. (Heads-up) was really a tough battle. I was overall impressed with how (Pearson) played. I hadn't really played him before this tournament. There were one or two hands that were pretty rough, but I was able to re-center myself back in."
Glaser, now an early front-runner for winning WSOP Player of the Year, said he will "absolutely" be going for the prestigious title.
"I was potentially going for Player of the Year anyways but I think this win makes it clear now that I'll be going for it," Glaser explained. "My schedule will probably change by one or two events, like the 100k PLO that I definitely wasn't sure I'd play. I think I will still try to take a day or two off just in the hopes of setting myself up for the rest of the series and execute better."
Day 4 Action
An unscheduled Day 4 saw Just three players return to the Horseshoe Events Center in hopes of securing WSOP glory. However, it took just a couple of hands for David Shmuel, who came in as the short stack, to commit the rest of his stack against Pearson in Big O. Shmuel had flopped a set and was poised to double up against Pearson, but a dramatic river saw Pearson boat up from two pair to end Shmuel's run in third place.
What could have been a brief heads-up affair turned into an epic battle. Pearson held an over two-to-one chip lead over Glaser at the start of their battle, but Glaser found an early double up to pull into the lead in what would be one of many chip-leading exchanges.
Pearson responded immediately, however, by winning a a flush-over-flush cooler. A few extra small pots that went Pearson's way saw him get back to where he started — with a two-to-one chip lead. However, like clockwork, Glaser found a way to double up back into the chip lead after rivering a full house against Pearson's turned straight.
Pearson seemingly upped his aggression and was able to grind back a chip lead with pot-sized raises and bets that resulted in Glaser folding. At one point, Glaser thought he had lost the match after getting all in against Pearson with a pair and wheel draw on the flop in Big O. Glaser went to shake Pearson's hand after the runout, but it turned out Glaser had made a better two pair for the high for a chopped pot.
Funnily enough, just a few hands later, Pearson also mistakenly assumed he had won after getting Glaser all in with a queen-high flush and a low, only to realize Glaser held a king-high flush for another chopped pot.
After a short break, Glaser retook a sizable chip lead after winning a series of medium-sized pots. Pearson still had some fight left in him, however, and managed to double up with a pair of tens, but Glaser wouldn't be denied. A few hands later Pearson found himself all in preflop in Omaha Hi-Lo with queen-nine-eight-six against Glaser's king-nine-seven-trey. The flop paired Glaser's king and Pearson was unable to catch up to put an end to the tournament.
