The reason why I say it 63 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.280 like that is because he won the second gold bracelet 64 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.159 for his summer here in twenty twenty five, and it's 65 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:34.159 only what nine days in crazy his seventh career WSP 66 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.360 gold bracelet. He won the fifteen hundred dollars Mixed Omaha 67 00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.960 for two hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars, a big field, 68 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.759 twelve hundred and thirty nine entries in that one Glazer 69 00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.680 Glaser came into the final day three players remaining. He 70 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.240 had the big lead. He ended up closing it out. 71 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.599 He's got two cashes on the summer and they're both wins. 72 00:03:57.400 --> 00:03:59.439 He won the fifteen hundred dollars Dealer's Choice and then 73 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:02.840 the next tournament that he played was the fifteen hundred 74 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.080 dollars Mixed Omaha and he won that.

And yeah, 124 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.360 it's important, and it's very useful for the World Series 125 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:29.759 when I can potentially jump into any event and have 126 00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:32.360 the potential for a bracelet, Like if there's any event 127 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.399 like we do you today, I feel like, oh that 128 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:37.240 has a chance of Yeah, me wondering. 129 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.759 Yet you have two and two braces seven, You have 130 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.040 two in omahah Low, And I guess you can kind 131 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:44.920 of call this as a third or you know, be 132 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:45.759 two thirds high Low. 133 00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:48.759 What is your best game when it comes to the 134 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:49.519 mixed games? 135 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:53.560 I think generally my best game is limit Await. Okay, 136 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.920 it's close, but I think that's the one that I 137 00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.079 normally considers my best. 138 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.480 We talked about, you know, your impressive from resume on 139 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.800 the Poko podcast the other day. Yeah, we kind of thought, 140 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.920 you know, Benny's following his path of phil ivey. You know, 141 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.480 eleven bracelets in eight different variants, but no no limit 142 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:12.639 hold embracelets. Is that something that like you care about 143 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:14.639 or is it just you know, bracelet is a bracelet 144 00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:14.839 to me. 145 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:17.439 I mean I would like to win a no limit bracelet. 146 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.959 I think that would also be very cool. But just 147 00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:22.439 the reality is I prioritize mixed so much more during 148 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.519 the summer that I'm probably only paying five, maybe six 149 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.800 no limit events throughout the whole summer, So it's just 150 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.160 much more likely I'm going to win a mixed bracelet 151 00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.680 during the summer. But yeah, I think a no limit 152 00:07:33.800 --> 00:07:35.279 hold embracer would also be very cool. 153 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:37.040 I want to kind of talk a little bit about 154 00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:38.680 young your legacy as a poker player. 155 00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:41.920 You're not forty yet.

You're 192 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:29.879 probably gonna maybe get some dinner and see if you 193 00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:33.159 can make that nine days without being a limited eliminated. 194 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:36.759 But congratulations, seven time WSP bracelet winner Benny Blasa. 195 00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:37.679 Thank you very much man. 196 00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:39.200 All right. 197 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:43.120 That was Benny Glauser, moments after he secured his seventh 198 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:48.039 career gold bracelet. All of his bracelets are in mixed games, 199 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.440 as you touched upon in that interview with him. What 200 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:55.120 does that say about where he ranks among I mean 201 00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.480 two really two things. One among the great mixed game 202 00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:01.159 players and then the other thing is among the great 203 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:04.279 WSOP players. Because there are very few people that have 204 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:05.879 seven or more bracelets. 205 00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.600 So what do you think? Yeah, he's right up there. 206 00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.600 I mentioned in the interview. The person his career is 207 00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.559 kind of following in is Phil Ivy. Eleven bracelets in 208 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:19.559 eight This different progravariance. You know, Benny is on track 209 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.120 to do something similar. I mean, you know, that's kind 210 00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:22.559 why I'm kind of ask him about the no limit 211 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:27.000 hold Him bracelet as as it comes to obviously modern players, 212 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.080 he is, without doubt one of the best that the 213 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:34.840 WSP has. The record stands, you know, seven bracelets in 214 00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.720 eleven years something like that. It's just outstanding. And you 215 00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.799 know he's going to be competing for many years to come. 216 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.639 He's still young. He's younger than both of you and me. 217 00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.720 He's I think he's he turns thirty six or thirty 218 00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.639 seven in a couple of days, so still very very young. 219 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:56.000 And I mean he's not going to stop. He's gonna 220 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.279 he's probably going to get to ten pretty soon, I think. Yeah. 221 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.720 So it's interest as you kind of compare him to 222 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.080 Phil iuve of him. I'm saying you specifically, just in general, 223 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.600 I think Phil has a chance to win a nolan 224 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.240 At Hold Him bracelet more so than Benny. And the 225 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.279 reason why I say that is Phil is for sure 226 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:19.120 going to be in all the twenty five k plus 227 00:11:19.879 --> 00:11:22.320 nolan Ath hold Them tournaments. Now, of course those are 228 00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.159 very tough, yes, but Phil is very good at nolam 229 00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:29.559 A hold them and they're just smaller fields, you know, 230 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:31.679 the fifty K, the hunter k, the two to fifty k, 231 00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.679 like that sort of stuff. You know, he can certainly 232 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.000 win those where I don't think Benny is going to 233 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.120 be playing I'll say fifty k plus. You know, maybe 234 00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.559 he dabbles in a twenty five K, especially, I would 235 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:45.919 say this summer, especially because now he's obviously with these 236 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:49.519 two bracelets, early the front runner for player of the year. 237 00:11:49.639 --> 00:11:52.279 So does he press a little bit harder similar to 238 00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.519 what we saw with dan Zach a couple of years ago. 239 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:57.159 Dan Zach is known as a mixed game player, and 240 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.440 then all of a sudden he's like, I got to 241 00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:00.360 play this two hundred fifty K super high role because 242 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.039 I got to get in there for a chance at 243 00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:03.000 the poy points. 244 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:03.519 Yeah. 245 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.320 So do we see a similar sort of thing with Benny. 246 00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:08.279 I don't think we see it to the same degree 247 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:11.759 as dan Zach. We both saw Benny skip the twenty 248 00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:13.480 five K half enough, I thought the field maybe it 249 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.759 was a little tough opted for an event where his 250 00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.720 edge is kind of greater, which was the mixed Omaha 251 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:21.679 obviously paid off and I think that's what's going to happen. 252 00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:25.919 If Benny has you know, a five K no limit 253 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.840 or fifteen hundred no limit or he has, say, you know, 254 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.919 fifteen hundred dollars start eight, I think he's always going 255 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.320 to go with the mixed game. He's going to lean 256 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:36.360 into his strengths, which is the mixed games, any mix 257 00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.960 game we have on the schedule. But yeah, he it's 258 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.120 it will be interesting if he can get a couple 259 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:44.720 more results, a couple more cashes, and maybe another final 260 00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.919 table here and there. Maybe does he take a swing 261 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:50.000 at a twenty five k or fifty k no limit 262 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.039 holder or even plhi rolla to try and lock up 263 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.480 player the I think that's you know, ask him about legacy. 264 00:12:56.759 --> 00:12:59.679 I think that's something where it would really interest him. 265 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.840 Adding having a poy bannihanas at the time comes push, 266 00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:04.919 comes to shove, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if 267 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.759 he does take a shot when needed. Now. 268 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:10.799 At the twenty twenty three WSP, we saw Chad eve 269 00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:15.559 Sledge when Event five and Event ten both dealers Choice tournaments. 270 00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.320 He won the fifteen hundred dollars Dealer's Choice and then 271 00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:21.159 won the ten K dealer's choice, so very early on 272 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.720 for him getting two bracelets. He also, like like Benny 273 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.440 this year, he had two cashes then they were both victories. 274 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:32.919 You know that obviously kickstarted his WSP campaign in a 275 00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:37.639 very big way. But after those two wins, he didn't 276 00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:42.639 final table another live WSP event in Vegas during that summer, 277 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:44.919 So you know, I just kind of use that as 278 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:46.840 a jumping off point. You know, how do you think 279 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.639 the remainder of Benny's summer is going to go. Is 280 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.120 it going to be similar to what we saw with 281 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.600 Chat Eve Sledge win these two early and then you know, 282 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:56.600 don't get back to a final table in the future, 283 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.960 or are we just going to see Benny continue to 284 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:00.000 you know, tear this place down. 285 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:02.759 You know what, I would say, that's pretty hot, pretty 286 00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:06.799 high high variance there for Chad not having another big 287 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:08.840 result after the starting so strongly. But if you had 288 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:10.960 asked him before the World Series, hey, you're going to 289 00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:13.159 make two final tables, win two braces Are you okay 290 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:16.799 with that guarantee? He says one hundred percent. So you know, 291 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.279 if Benny does break the rest of the series, if 292 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.720 he can, you know, maybe. 293 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.360 It's well it's not that Chad Brick the rest of 294 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.000 the story, but a couple of finishes in the teams 295 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:26.440 and whatever. It just didn't make it to. 296 00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:28.840 The final table. I think Benny would be pretty happy 297 00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.360 with this now, the fact that he started so hot, 298 00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.799 you know, two wins in two events over six days. 299 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.480 He's probably setting the bar very high for what comes 300 00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:42.120 for the rest of the series. You know, like, hey, 301 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.200 I've knocked off two and it's only June fifth. You know, 302 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:47.080 where's the third bra when's the third brace that come? 303 00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:49.360 When's the fourth bracelet come? When's the fifth bracelet coming? 304 00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:52.000 You know, so you set those standards pretty high, so 305 00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:54.519 it would probably disappoint him if he doesn't make at 306 00:14:54.600 --> 00:14:57.159 least another big run at a third bracelet. Here. 307 00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.759 I want to see someone win a four bracelets and 308 00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.320 ess it never happened, you know, I really want to 309 00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.559 see that. I think Benny is one of those players 310 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.159 who has as good of a shot as anyone just 311 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:11.639 because of how good he is when it comes to 312 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:13.600 playing mixed games. He's going to be in all those 313 00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.679 ten K Mixed Game Championship events, which they have anywhere 314 00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.960 from one hundred to one hundred and fifty, maybe one 315 00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:24.159 hundred and seventy five players something like that. You know, 316 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.080 I think, well, we still have the ten k horse 317 00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:27.519 that's going to be a big one. We had the 318 00:15:27.519 --> 00:15:29.600 ten k Omaha that was, you know, one of the 319 00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:31.799 bigger ones. But you know the ten k stud study 320 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.159 stuff like that, that's you know kind of like around 321 00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:36.759 what one twenty ish or so. He's obviously going to 322 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:38.960 be in the fifty k so you know he'll he'll 323 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.000 have as good of a chance as anyone in that event. 324 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.759 So it's it's not even just you know the size 325 00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:45.519 of the fields. I want to go back to twenty 326 00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.399 fifteen when George Danze won he's three bracelets. He won 327 00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:51.080 two here in Vegas, one in Asia Pacific. 328 00:15:51.120 --> 00:15:54.320 Yeah, that third one doesn't count, it does He established 329 00:15:54.360 --> 00:15:55.000 that doesn't count. 330 00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.840 I'm going that's with you. Seventy nine events the entire year, 331 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.960 seventy nine events with the entire yearlevent brace events, right 332 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:08.960 when George Dan's are one, three for Benny with two already, 333 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.480 we have one hundred live bracelet events here, we have 334 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:15.759 thirty online. We're going to have fifty sixteen in Paradise. 335 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:18.240 I'm not sure Benny's going to be playing in the online. 336 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.320 Sixteen, but we're gonna have sixteen in Europe. We're going 337 00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:23.639 to have another thirty three online in the fall, right, 338 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.679 So we're looking at something like two hundred and forty 339 00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:30.279 five bracelet events versus seventy nine, basically three x thing 340 00:16:30.360 --> 00:16:34.039 when George Danzer won three. So you know, it's not 341 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:37.279 just about the field sizes, it's also about the amount 342 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:40.840 of volume Benny can put in between now and Christmas 343 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:43.200 to try and win a third bracelet. Yeah, and the 344 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:44.200 fourth and fifth. 345 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:48.559 I'm gonna say, yeah, but here, I want the three 346 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:50.799 or the four to happen here in the summer in 347 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:51.559 Las Vegas. 348 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.879 You want the Jeff lissand or the field iv ted, you. 349 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.360 Know, like I don't. I don't want it to extend elsewhere, 350 00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:03.559 you know, I just wanted to be this series, and 351 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.880 I still think he has a great chance to do it. 352 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.119 There are so many bracelet events left and ones that 353 00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.400 are going to be great for him to be able 354 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.640 to get in there in Battle. I mean, it won't 355 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:16.519 be easy. There's a lot of tough competition some of 356 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.920 the events that he plays, Yes, but Benny is an 357 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:22.480 absolute elite player, So you know, I look forward to 358 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:25.039 to watching his quests for the rest of this summer. 359 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:27.279 We have, we have so much time to go, so 360 00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:30.000 it's going to be a fun sweat the whole way. 361 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:31.039 Another thing that. 362 00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.200 You hit on with him in the interview is the 363 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:37.079 Poker Hall of Fame and what getting in would mean 364 00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:39.640 to him. You know, let me ask you. I know, 365 00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.759 on the interview, you were playing the interviewee, you're asking 366 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.640 the questions, you know, but here I'm asking for your opinion. 367 00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.920 Is Benny a Poker Hall of Famer? Obviously when he's 368 00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:50.599 old enough, you know, when he's old enough, you know, 369 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:51.799 should he get in? 370 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:53.759 Yeah? Here we all to join twenty twenty nine, so 371 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:57.039 a few more years, I would say he's probably a 372 00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.359 favorite to at least been one more bracelet between now 373 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.599 and twenty twenty two. Nine one, that's it. I'm saying, 374 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:04.880 no one a year. Okay, come on, it's gonna win 375 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.559 one more this year, bro right, right, So he's gonna 376 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:10.880 he's gonna have seventeen bracelets in twenty if he can 377 00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:12.759 win one more, he goes to you know, he goes 378 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.519 to eight, he joins, you know, the Grano. Maybe see 379 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.119 if he's got another one. Wait, when does he turn 380 00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.519 June seven, twenty twenty nine, also in the middle of 381 00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.240 the summer series. Yeah. So, the way some of the 382 00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:25.640 Hall of Fame things work, it's basically when it's announced 383 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:28.160 the cutoff, and normally it's announced early June around now, 384 00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:30.759 so he just falls in twenty twenty nine, depending when 385 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.000 they announced. Let's give him one bracelet, let's give him 386 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.839 eight bracelets. I'll say he's at He's at eleven bracelet. 387 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.680 That's a lot of bracelets. Sure, fine, eleven. Then even 388 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:46.000 without eleven, I think he's is Benny freaking Glazo. Come on, man, 389 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.519 Obviously the issue is how many people get in. I 390 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.319 think he is part of his eligibility class, the number 391 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.720 one pick to get in. Looking at the names that 392 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:57.839 I have that could get in into here we go 393 00:18:57.880 --> 00:19:01.240 again with this nonsense. Let me read some names. I 394 00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:06.839 can't wait. I cannot wait to hear the names Stephen Chidwick, Okay, 395 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:13.599 Doug Polk, Pads, Patrick, Leonard Seth Davis, Dan Smith, Sergio, Aito, 396 00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:14.559 Daniel Divores. 397 00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:17.160 I mean, no one you named is getting in. And 398 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:21.839 Ed Arbustad, where's a net overset? Has she picked up 399 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.200 poker chips or cards in twelve years? 400 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:26.119 Probably? But yeah, I get we saying. My point is 401 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:28.599
