Mixed-game specialists do not usually make the front page of a results desk, because the fields are small and the prizes with them. Benny “RunGodlike” Glaser’s Saturday night is the exception. On September 26 the English player won WCOOP 102-H, the $530 Seven Card Stud, for $8,357 from 36 entries, and then, less than three hours later, the rescheduled WCOOP 90-H, the $530 HORSE, for $11,082. His WCOOP title count went from 17 to 19, a record for the series, and by the time PokerStars closed WCOOP 2026 he had three titles for the fortnight.
PokerNews published both final tables on September 28, in a report that also marked the start of the Main Events.
The Stud
Thirty-six entries at $530. Glaser beat TheePr0d1gy of the United Kingdom heads-up; the runner-up took $5,187. plattsburgh of Canada was third for $3,219, NicoBoko of Germany fourth for $1,998 and FAL1st of Thailand, who would go on to win the Player of the Series leaderboard, fifth for $1,240. Dosenpfand of Austria and Talal “raidalot” Shakerchi of the United Kingdom finished sixth and seventh; their payouts were blank in the published table, and the record leaves them blank.
The HORSE
The HORSE had been rescheduled, and its field size was not stated. Glaser beat Christian “CMoosepower” Elgstrøm of Denmark, who collected $6,850. NicoBoko of Germany, fourth in the Stud a few hours earlier, was third here for $4,234. inexhale of Greece ($2,617), chokitin of Argentina ($1,618), huiiiiiiiii of Austria ($1,395) and gganbu of Brazil ($1,203) completed the table.
Two final tables with the same names at both is how the mixed-game end of a series works. NicoBoko cashed twice in three hours; Shakerchi, a regular at $5,000 and $10,000 PLO finals, was at a $530 Stud final the same night.
Why the small money is on the ledger
$8,357 and $11,082 would not make the front page as prizes. They are on the ledger because the desk records the full final table of every event with a published payout, and because the title count is the real result here: 19 WCOOP wins by one player is a figure that will be cited every September for years, and it needs the two events behind it to be on record with their dates and their sources.
Both records carry September 26 as the play date, from the report’s “Saturday night”, and PokerNews as the source. The report’s other content, the Day 1 chip counts for the Main Events, is not a result and is not on the ledger; the Main Event payouts arrived on October 1 and have their own records.
Glaser’s third title of the series is in the PokerStars closing release of October 8, without a payout table, which is why the ledger carries two of the three.
