Benny Glaser Net Worth 2026: $4M-$8M, 9 Bracelets & PPC Champion

Benny Glaser has won more World Series of Poker bracelets than any other European player. All nine came in mixed or non-hold’em formats, and the ninth was the one he wanted most: the 2026 $50,000 Poker Players Championship.

We put his net worth at $4 million to $8 million, built from more than $12.8 million in live cashes recorded by The Hendon Mob. His biggest single score came in No-Limit Hold’em after all, a seven-figure runner-up finish at the 2022 WPT World Championship.

Online he plays as RunGodlike and holds more WCOOP titles than anyone in the series’ history.

Benny Glaser’s net worth is estimated at $4 million to $8 million. The range starts from his tracked tournament results, then allows for the costs that never show up in a results database.

Two scores make up roughly a third of his live total: the WPT World Championship runner-up finish and the Poker Players Championship win. The rest is spread across 230 other cashes since 2013.

Why net worth estimates for Glaser vary

Very few sites publish a figure for Glaser at all. One auto-generated celebrity site, peopleai.com, lists $2.53 million, built from social media reach rather than poker results, and it was still listing eight bracelets months after his ninth.

None of the published figures explains its method. Our range is built from his recorded results and the costs that come with the events he plays.

How much has Benny Glaser won in live tournaments?

The Hendon Mob records $12,874,899 in live tournament earnings across 232 cashes. That places him 139th on the all-time money list and sixth among English players.

WSOP.com counts $10,494,204 from World Series events alone, a different scope that should never be added to the Hendon Mob total. His online results on Hendon Mob had passed $1.8 million by November 2023.

The missing pieces: buy-ins, staking and cash games

Five factors sit outside every public database:

Glaser’s first live win and his first bracelet both came in split-pot or draw games. That pattern has held for more than a decade.

Where is Benny Glaser from?

Glaser comes from Southampton on England’s south coast. The Hendon Mob lists his residence as nearby Eastleigh.

He was introduced to poker by his father and built his game on online 8-game tables at modest stakes. The mixed formats he learned there are the same ones that later produced his bracelets.

From online mixed games to a first live win

His first recorded live result came in October 2013 at EPT London. He won a £300 No-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo turbo for £2,323. A year later he finished second in a £200 hyper turbo at the same festival for £2,800.

2015: the first WSOP bracelet

His first summer at the World Series produced no cashes at all. He came back in 2015 and left with a bracelet.

The $1,500 Limit 2-7 Triple Draw paid $136,215, the first of three titles he has won in triple draw formats. Lowball draw games have stayed among his strongest events ever since.

He has treated the World Series the same way since that first bracelet, as the place to play above his usual online stakes.

Glaser’s record splits cleanly into two worlds. The bracelets come from rotation and lowball events, while two of his three biggest cashes came in No-Limit Hold’em.

Top 10 live tournament cashes

These are his ten largest recorded live scores, per The Hendon Mob.

Eight of the ten came at WSOP events, including WSOP Paradise, and four are outright wins. All ten came in events with buy-ins of $10,000 or more.

How many WSOP bracelets does Benny Glaser have?

Glaser has nine WSOP bracelets, confirmed by WSOP.com, from 37 final tables and 140 cashes.

Only five players have won more, led by Phil Hellmuth’s record 17 WSOP bracelets. The top of the all-time list looks like this.

Of the four players on nine, Glaser is the only European. He shares the mark with Johnny Moss, Shaun Deeb and 2025 Main Event champion Michael Mizrachi.

His 2021 win came in Razz, where the lowest hand takes the pot.

PokerGO Tour and the Super High Roller Bowl

The $100,000 Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games is the highest buy-in on his schedule. He finished fifth for $225,000 in March 2025 and third for $570,000 in February 2026.

Those two results returned $795,000 between them. That is more than any single bracelet has paid him apart from the PPC.

EPT, Irish Open and other major results

Outside the top ten, two European titles and two WSOP championship finishes stand out.

The Irish Open win came in No-Limit Hold’em. Most of his other European titles came in mixed and split-pot side events at EPT festivals.

Glaser’s online record is as strong as his live one. His series wins span stud, draw, Omaha and hold’em formats.

What is Benny Glaser’s PokerStars screen name?

He plays on PokerStars as RunGodlike. His first SCOOP title came in 2016 in the $2,100 Stud Hi/Lo for $54,390, and his first WCOOP title followed in 2018 in a $55 PLO 6-Max for $23,807.

His WCOOP wins run from an $11 NLO8 6-Max to $2,100 championship events. He belongs on any list of the best online poker players ranked by series titles.

His online prizes are small next to his live scores, rarely above $50,000 a title. The record matters for what it shows about range, not for what it adds to his bankroll.

WCOOP and SCOOP titles

His series titles break down as follows.

He added three WCOOP titles in September 2026:

Stud also appears twice in the Poker Players Championship rotation, as Seven Card Stud and Stud Hi-Lo. For readers new to it, how Seven-Card Stud hands are played starts with three cards and five betting rounds.

Glaser is a mixed-game specialist who builds his schedule around rotation and split-pot events. His results show that choice paying off in draw, stud and Omaha formats.

Why has Glaser never won a No-Limit Hold’em bracelet?

Because his schedule is built around other games. Before the 2022 WPT final, his previous top 14 cashes had all come outside No-Limit Hold’em.

When he does play hold’em, the results hold up. His two biggest No-Limit Hold’em scores are the WPT World Championship runner-up finish and tenth place in the 2025 WSOP Paradise $25,000 Super Main Event.

That record suggests a deliberate choice rather than a weakness. Mixed events offer smaller fields and more of the games he has played longest.

The games he calls his best

He has named Omaha Hi-Lo, 2-7 Triple Draw and Limit Hold’em as his strongest games. His results back that up, as his bracelets by format show.

Limit Hold’em is the one named game without a bracelet, though he finished second in the 2026 Limit Hold’em Championship.

Omaha Hi-Lo is the clearest example of the rest. It is a split-pot game built around Omaha Hi-Lo strategy for scooping both halves of the pot rather than settling for half.

Is he the best mixed-game player?

Poker media often call him that. Glaser does not, and after his 2026 Poker Players Championship win he was asked directly.

“I think I’m up there. I don’t personally like saying I’m number one.”

His record makes the case for him: nine bracelets in 11 years, none of them in a No-Limit Hold’em event.

Four moments stand out in Glaser’s career.

2016: two Omaha Hi-Lo bracelets in one week

Glaser won the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better (Event #26) for $244,103. Four days later he won the $10,000 Championship in the same game (Event #32) for $407,194.

The double lifted his tally to three in two summers. Only Jason Mercier and Ian Johns had already won two bracelets at that series.

What is Benny Glaser’s biggest cash?

His biggest cash is $2,830,000 for second place at the 2022 WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. The $10,400 event drew 2,960 entries, and the final played out on 20 December 2022.

Glaser started the six-handed final table as chip leader. On the fourth hand his ace-jack ran into Eliot Hudon’s pocket kings, and the double-up put Hudon in control.

Hudon held more than a 3-to-1 lead entering heads-up play, which lasted seven hands. On the last, Glaser turned Q♦ J♠ into a river bluff and Hudon called with 7♣ 4♦ for a nine-high straight.

Hudon’s $4,136,000 came with a $10,400 seat into the following year’s event. For Glaser, the runner-up payout remains the largest of his career.

2025: three mixed-game bracelets in one summer

In 2025 he won the $1,500 Dealers Choice, the $1,500 Mixed Omaha 8 or Better and the $2,500 Mixed Triple Draw Lowball. WSOP.com lists him as only the seventh player to win three bracelets at a single World Series.

The six before him:

Glaser was the first to win all three in mixed-game events.

Did Benny Glaser win WSOP Player of the Year?

Not in 2025, which made him the first player to land a bracelet hat-trick at one series and still miss the award. He finished second to Shaun Deeb and his second POY title after a race that went to the final days of the series.

The 2026 race runs across WSOP Europe, Las Vegas and WSOP Paradise, with the last points on offer in December.

2026: the Poker Players Championship

The 2026 edition drew 108 entries to Paris and Horseshoe Las Vegas. Glaser won it on 25 June for $1,343,764 and the Chip Reese Memorial Trophy.

He came into the final table as chip leader, and his five-day Poker Players Championship run ended with a heads-up win over Josh Arieh. The duel began essentially even in chips and finished in Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better.

The seven finalists held 38 bracelets between them, including 11-time bracelet winner Phil Ivey in third place.

The title came a year after Mizrachi’s record fourth PPC title, and it ended his own run of near misses in the event: fifth in 2018 and fourth in 2022.

“It does feel like a bit of a dream right now,” he said afterwards. “I’m so happy.”

Away from the tables, the public record is thin.

How old is Benny Glaser?

Benny Glaser was born on 7 June 1989 and is 37 years old. The date is secondary-sourced but matches the age of 33 the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported in December 2022.

Music, coaching and life away from the tables

Music came first: he has described it as his first love, and his X bio still lists him as a part-time poker coach and musician. No coaching rates or student names have been made public.

He has also addressed how to say his name. Writing as @BennyGlaser, he said the surname sounds “more like Glahser, depending on the accent”.

The 2025 World Series brought three bracelets and a near miss in the Player of the Year race. The 2026 series brought one, but it was the Poker Players Championship, the title he had chased since his first PPC final table in 2018.

Away from the PPC, his biggest 2026 scores came in mixed-game high rollers and at EPT Barcelona. Online, September’s WCOOP added three more titles to his record.

He sits 11th in the 2026 WSOP Player of the Year standings, with WSOP Paradise still to come in December. The race’s outcome will be reported alongside the latest poker tournament news and results.

This player profile separates verifiable facts from estimates and public claims. We cannot accurately calculate any player’s net worth, but we aim to publish transparent, verifiable information.

How we handle ‘net worth’

We do not treat any net worth figure as fact. Third-party estimates are reported with their source and caveats, and where no credible methodology is disclosed, we say so.

Glaser’s range is our own estimate, built from his recorded results less buy-ins and other costs. The peopleai.com figure of $2.53 million is noted above but discloses no poker data.

How we report earnings

Tournament earnings figures come from The Hendon Mob, whose headline total counts live results only. Its online results are tracked separately, and we report the two apart rather than blending them.

WSOP.com’s World Series total and Hendon Mob’s live total cover different scopes and are never added together. His online figure is dated November 2023.

How we cover controversies

We report what was alleged, what the player said in response, and where the matter stands. We do not take sides.

We found no controversy involving Glaser on the public record. Nothing on this page is drawn from forum rumour.
