Benny Glaser Benny “RunGodlike” Glaser is now a five-time PokerStars World Championship Of Online Poker (WCOOP) champion after capturing his fifth WCOOP title in as many years. The popular British mixed-game specialist triumphed in the $2,100 HORSE event, defeating fellow Brit Patrick “pads1161” Leonard heads-up. The victory came with $33,300 prize money.
Glaser temporarily moved to Vancouver, Canada, for the WCOOP grind, and the move looks to have paid off. A great start to #WCOOP! # I won the $2k HORSE for $33k! # — Benny Glaser (@BennyGlaser) WCOOP 09-H: $2,100 HORSE drew in a compact field of 45 entrants, who created a $90,000 prize pool. The small field meant only the top six finishers received a slice of the prize pool, so spare a thought for seventh-place finisher Joao “Naza114” Vieira, the unfortunate bubble boy.
With Vieira out of the way, the tournament began awarding its prize money. Norway’s “Nor-Wiking” was the first to see a return on their investment, sixth place coming with $4,950. Dzmitry Urbanovich Brazilian high-stakes specialist Kelvin “Kelvin_FP:AR” Kerber crashed out in fifth for $6,750, before Dzmitry “Colisea” Urbanovich came unstuck in fourth place, a finish good for $9,000.
The surviving trio of superstars were now guaranteed a five-figure haul for their efforts. Kazakhstan’s Andrey “Premove” Skvortsov scooped $13,500 when he dusted off his stack in third place.
Skvortsov’s elimination left Glaser heads-up against Leonard. Glaser defeated his talented final foe to add the $2,100 HORSE WCOOP title to the $2,100 HORSE SCOOP title he won earlier in the year. Glaser now has a total of 12 COOP victories. Do not bet against him winning more with three weeks of the $85 million guaranteed WCOOP left to run. WCOOP 09-H: $2,100 HORSE Final Table Results
