Within a few hours, Glaser dominated two tournaments, securing his 18th and 19th career WCOOP titles. With a total of 19 WCOOP titles, he solidified his position as the absolute leader in the historical rankings, and with 31 COOP titles, he tied at the top of the overall leaderboard alongside Patrick “pads1161” Leonard.
Glaser's Saturday double began with the WCOOP 102-H: $530 Stud tournament. Among 36 entries, his commanding performance earned him an $8,357 prize from a $20,000 prize pool. Interestingly, this was Glaser's first WCOOP Stud title, expanding his list of poker formats in which he's won to 12.
Less than three hours later, he clinched victory in the ongoing WCOOP 90-H: $530 HORSE event. In a tournament with 58 entries and a prize pool of $29,000, he defeated Danish player Christian “CMoosepower” Elgstrøm in a heads-up finale, winning $11,082. This marked Glaser's fourth WCOOP HORSE title.
It's worth noting that he also won the WCOOP 44-H: $1,050 8-Game at the beginning of the series, celebrating his third title this year. Benny Glaser ranks among the most successful players of WCOOP 2026, despite not participating in the entire schedule.
It's been a good WCOOP so far! 😊

I haven't played much of it this series, but yesterday I won 2 events, to go up to 3 wins this series! 🏆 🏆 🏆
So that's now 19 #WCOOP titles, as the most, and now I'm tied for the most titles overall.
And 3 more days to go to finish strong! 😀 pic.twitter.com/f4aIz5m27s
