Tom Fuchs emerged victorious in the 2026 PokerStars European Poker Tour €100,000 no-limit hold’em super high roller, besting a field of 27 entries to earn his second live tournament title and $1,306,786.
This was the largest score of the young German poker player’s career, narrowly topping the $1,292,000 top prize he earned as the champion of the 2024 World Series of Poker Paradise $50,000 high roller.
Fuchs already has more than $7.2 million in lifetime earnings, despite recording his first cash in 2020. The 28-year-old, now based in Austria, also secured 360 Card Player Player of the Year points with this triumph. This was his fifth POY-qualified score of 2026.
Mokri Nearly Wins For A Third Time In Four Years
Kayhan Mokri
While it was Fuchs who ultimately hoisted the spade trophy, Norway’s Kayhan Mokri came within one spot of an incredible third triumph in four years. Mokri was the back-to-back champion in 2023 and 2024. While he did not cash in 2025, he instead took down the festival’s €50,000 buy-in. After that gap year, Mokri made it all the way down to heads-up play in the €100,000 again this year, only to finish as the runner-up for $820,120. The score pushed his career earnings to nearly $24.1 million.
This was the seventh final-table finish of 2026 for Mokri, who now sits just outside the top 125 on the POY leaderboard presented by CoinPoker.
Third-place finisher Jamie Dwan climbed to 53rd place in those standings after adding $547,520 and 240 points to his tally with this podium finish. Dwan scored the largest win of his career in July, taking down a $50,000 buy-in at the WSOP for his first bracelet and nearly $2.3 million. He backed that up with a victory in a £2,000 event at the GUKPT Coventry festival just weeks later, and has made five final tables during this ongoing EPT Barcelona stop.
Byron Kaverman rounded out the four finishers to cash in this event. The bracelet winner from America earned $364,240 to bring his lifetime haul to just shy of $23 million.
