Record Breaker: Benny Glaser Becomes SCOOP's All-Time Number One
Nobody would ever deny that Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser is one of the best all-round poker players of his generation, if not all-time. Glaser always shines during the PokerStars Spring Championship Of Online Poker (SCOOP), capturing ten titles btween 2016 and 2023. Now, Glaser is SCOOP's all-time leader regarding titles won because he bagged the 11th SCOOP title of his illustrious career on May 18.
Glaser was one of 2,679 entrants in SCOOP 75-L: $55 NLHE Turbo, a tournament with a $133,950 prize pool. Although Glaser is best known for his mixed game prowess, his No-Limit Hold'em game is also razor sharp, evidenced by his battling his way through this huge crowd and helping himself to the $19,590 top prize.
The British superstar defeated Brazilian "tenentelima" heads-up to get his hands on his record-breaking 11th SCOOP title, pushing him one win above legendary figures Calvin "cal42688" Anderson and Andre "Premove" Skvortsov.

Glaser's SCOOP Titles
Glaser won his first SCOOP title in 2016, coming out on top in the $2,100 Stud Hi-Lo event. He drew a rare blank in 2017 before capturing another SCOOP title in 2018, and has won at least one SCOOP event every year since, including three in 2023.
This will not be Glaser's last SCOOP win, and it probably won't be his last in the 2024 SCOOP, either.
