Benny Glaser is the most decorated British professional poker player in history and a world-renowned specialist in Mixed Game formats. Known by his legendary online handle “RunGodLike,” Glaser has achieved unprecedented success across both live and online spheres, holding the record for the most World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets won by a European player. With eight WSOP bracelets and over 40 COOP titles to his name, he is widely regarded as the “End Boss” of technical and high-stakes multi-discipline poker.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings surpassing $11,037,000 (according to The Hendon Mob), Glaser is a dominant force in the global high-stakes landscape. His career-best live score of $2,830,000 was achieved with a runner-up finish in the 2022 World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas. In 2025, Glaser completed one of the most remarkable summers in history, winning three WSOP bracelets in just three weeks (Event #8, Event #15, and Event #56), bringing his career total to eight. His 2026 campaign is already off to an elite start, recently finishing 3rd in the PokerGO Tour (PGT) Super High Roller Bowl Mixed Games for $570,000. His immense consistency across live and online “nosebleed” stakes contributes to an estimated poker net worth of over $15 million.

Biography & Poker Background
Born in Southampton, England, Glaser originally developed a passion for music, playing guitar since age six. However, his competitive drive led him to poker, where he built his reputation in the high-stakes online arenas of PokerStars under the moniker “RunGodLike.” Long before becoming a household name in Las Vegas, he was the most successful SCOOP and WCOOP player in history, currently holding over 40 combined titles. Despite his massive success, Glaser remains known for his humility and an intense “grind mode” mentality, often flying directly from month-long online series into live tournaments. Today, he resides in Eastleigh and is part of a formidable group of British high rollers—including Stephen Chidwick and Sam Grafton—who continue to dominate the global high-stakes landscape.
Play Style & Strategy
Glaser is celebrated for a “highly technical, versatile, and relentless” play style, with a particular mastery of Mixed Game formats like 2-7 Triple Draw, Badugi, and Pot-Limit Omaha Hi-Lo. While many modern pros focus exclusively on No-Limit Hold’em, Glaser’s edge lies in his deep understanding of 21+ different poker variants. His strategy is deeply rooted in modern theory, yet he emphasizes emotional regulation and the “mental challenge” of poker, focusing on making the best decision regardless of the outcome. He is a master of “Mixed Game” technicality, as evidenced by the fact that all of his live bracelets have come in non-Hold’em events. Whether navigating a Triton Poker Series PLO championship or a deep run in the WSOP Player of the Year race, Glaser’s strategy revolves around technical balance and a relentless ability to apply pressure in the most complex games on earth.
