WSOP 2025 Day 6 Recap: Benny Glaser and Artur Martirosyan Claim Bracelets, Daniel Negreanu Leads Race for Omaha Title

A thrilling day’s action at the WSOP felt saw two WSOP legends add more gold to their collections, while the Mystery Millions drama saw the million-dollar bounties claimed as 20 remained in with a chance of the $1m top prize. Across seven events, it was the busiest day at the Horseshoe and Paris casinos since the start of the 56th annual WSOP as Daniel Negreanu put himself in pole position to win his eighth bracelet.

Benny Glaser Grabs Sixth WSOP Crown

In the $1,500-entry Dealer’s Choice Event #8, British player Benny Glaser became the latest player to win six WSOP bracelets as the mixed game specialist got the job done against a tough final table in Las Vegas. Beating Matthew Schreiber heads-up, Glaser won $150,246 and added to his phenomenal WSOP legacy in mixed games at a final table also featuring Scott Bohlman and Steve O’Dwyer.

With just 26 players having claimed six bracelets or more, Glaser is now in highly esteemed company and believes that his latest win will assist his ascent into the Poker Hall of Fame at some points. “More bracelets will be helpful for that - I’d like to think it helps my legacy.” he said.

With 14 players returning to action on the final day, Glaser’s victory came after he busted Steve O’Dwyer in sixth place. The dangerous American-Irishman flopped top pair in Pot Limit Hold’em but Glaser’s two pair was good enough to reduce the field to five. Exits for Scott Jacewiczokelly (5th for $31,747) and Scott Bohlman (4th for $45,511) preceded Andrew Park’s queen-ten being shot down by Schreiber’s pocket sixes to send play to the final duel.

Glaser led the heads-up as it began but Schreiber leapt in front when he made trip queens in Five Card Draw. Schreiber’s fairytale suddenly looked possible but Glaser pulled ahead and when he held ace-nine to Schreiber’s nine-eight in No Limit Hold’em, the writing was on the wall. The Brit's hand held firm to win him $150,246 while Schreiber failed to win his second bracelet in finishing as runner-up for $100,137.

Negreanu Leads Last 20 in Bid for Omaha Gold 

Just 20 players remain in with a chance of victory in Event #9, the $10,000-entry Omaha Hi-Lo Championship and Daniel Negreanu leads them to the final day. 'Kid Poker' is chasing his eighth WSOP bracelet and after waiting over a decade between Vgeas victories when he took down the $50,000 Poker Players Championship in 2024, less than 12 months later, he could win a WSOP title that would put him ahead of Billy Baxter, John Hennigan and Men ‘The Master’ Nguyen, and just one behind The Grand Old Man of Poker, Johnny Moss.

To do so, and claim a top prize of $470,037, Negreanu, who has 1.55 million chips, will have to outlast players such as Maxx Coleman (1,020,000) Viktor Blom (840,000) and Joao Vieira (840,000), with others such as Ben Lamb (740,000), Allan Le (620,000) and George Alexander (310,000) all in contention. David ‘ODB’ Baker has only 80,000 chips to his name as he bids to win a fourth WSOP title in sensational fashion.

With 19,654 entries, a prize pool of $17,295,520 and over $5.8m in bounty prizes, Event #1, the $1,000-entry Mystery Millions event is a headline maker. Today was bounty day, where bounties were won by players who knocked out another during the Day 2 action. It took less than an hour of play for Jeff Platt to excitedly reveal that 23-year-old Tyler Montoya was the first millionaire.

“WSOP, baby, a millionaire at 23. Let's go!” he shouted at the time. “If you're a stripper at the strip club, you should be working tonight," he later added. 
With slightly less fanfare, Thomas ‘PaigowKing’ Zanot won the second million-dollar prize, adding to the $6.4 million Pai Gow payout he received just two years ago in 2023.

With just 20 players left chasing the $1,000,000 top prize for taking home the gold bracelet in the opening event of the 56yth annual WSOP, American George Tatalovich (77.6m) leads from Linda Ngo (67m) with Daniel Strelitz (52.2m) and Michael Acevedo (34.6m) sure to be dangeous advesaries for the leaders when play resumes to battle down to a winner. Last year’s winner Malcolm Trayner won $31,820 in 28th place, while Stephen Song (23rd for $39,180) also went close to bagging a final day stack with the PokerGO streamed final table to come.
