Martin Kabrhel had to be everywhere, all at once, on July 2. He was in the money in three separate bracelet events at the 2026 World Series of Poker simultaneously, including at the live final table of the WSOP Online $3,200 high roller.
At the same time, he had also made day 2 of both the $3,000 no-limit hold’em freezeout and $600 Deepstack NLH. While he went on to finish 80th ($9,620) and 281st ($1,729) in those two events, he was able to close out the win in the hybrid live and online event, defeating a tough final table inside the Paris Las Vegas to earn $195,195 and his sixth WSOP gold bracelet.
Kabrhel beat out a field of 338 entries, playing down to the final table online before reconvening in person to battle it out for the hardware.
The 43-year-old poker pro from Czechia is now just the 31st player in poker history to have earned six or more bracelets. His hectic run to this win capped off a wild week at the WSOP, during which five players near the top of the all-time bracelets leaderboard added to their totals. Benny Glaser, Michael Mizrachi, and Shaun Deeb all secured their ninth bracelets, while Daniel Negreanu locked up his eighth just hours before Kabrhel’s latest win.
Five of Kabrhel’s six bracelets have come in no-limit hold’em events. Four of his first five came on home turf for the Czech native, with wins in the 2017 WSOP Europe €1,100 turbo bounty, the 2018 WSOPE €100,000 high roller, the 2024 WSOPE €50,000 high roller, and the lone pot-limit Omaha title coming at the 2025 WSOPE in the €10,000 mystery bounty.
Prior to this latest win, Kabrhel’s only triumph in Las Vegas came in the 2025 WSOP $1,000 mini main event.
Closing Out No. 6
In the end, Kabrhel defeated Krista Gifford heads-up for the bracelet. The WSOP Online regular, known by the screen name ‘Pollux’ on the platform, secured $144,495 as the runner-up. This was the largest recorded score yet for the three-time ring winner.
The final hand saw the chips get in on a J♥5♦4♠ flop with Gifford holding J♠7♥. She was trailing the J♦10♦ of Kabrhel, who unleashed some of his well-known catchphrases while playing to the crowd. The A♠ turn and Q♠ river kept Kabrhel’s hand best, earning him the pot and the title.
