For the first time in his illustrious career, Martin Kabrhel has won a WSOP Circuit ring outside of his native Czech Republic.
Kabrhel, in Las Vegas for reasons unknown, won the $600 Monster Stack at the World Series of Poker Circuit at Horseshoe Las Vegas, home of the annual flagship World Series of Poker.
Kabrhel’s sixth WSOP Circuit ring, his first since 2019, came with a $52,420 payday after he won the 588-entry, two-day event. That cash now makes him the 77th poker player in history with over $19,000,000 in career live tournament earnings.
Martin Kabrhel’s WSOP success
Though Martin Kabrhel is widely known for his antics, few would disagree that he’s one of the most decorated international poker players on the planet.
Kabrhel’s five WSOP bracelets rank fourth all-time amongst players born outside of the United States, only behind British mixed games legend Benny Glaser (eight), Canada’s Daniel Negreanu (seven), and Australia’s 2009 WSOP Player of the Year and seven-card stud legend Jeff Lisandro (six).
Four of Kabrhel’s five bracelets have come at WSOP Europe, making him the only player to have ever won more than two live WSOP bracelets outside of the United States.
Kabrhel finally won a bracelet in Las Vegas for the first time last year, when he, unbelievably, won the $1,000 Mini Main Event. He topped a ridiculous field of 10,794 entries to win a massive $843,140 top prize, the fifth-highest score of his career.
As far as WSOP rings won outside of the United States, there is no official stat, but Kabrhel’s five likely ranks second in the world behind Michael Lech. Lech is an American-born player who has spent his entire life traveling the globe playing poker. Lech has won six of his nine rings in five foreign countries, in addition to his pair of online WSOP bracelets.
Kabrhel is also the number one earner from the Czech Republic, having roughly 50% more in career earnings than his closest competitor, Roman Hrabec, and three times more than Martin Staszko, who is third on that list.

WSOP Europe glory on the cards?
Martin Kabrhel couldn’t have ended 2025 and begun 2026 in hotter form. After winning the insanely-big $1,000 Mini Main at WSOP Las Vegas, he followed that up with his fifth bracelet in Rozvadov, winning the 88-entry €10,000 Pot Limit Omaha – Mystery Bounty for €188,500 plus bounties.
Kabrhel then had massive success at BSOP Millions 2025 in São Paulo, winning the 44-entry Super High Roller for $395,798, finishing fourth in the 36-entry Super High Roller Main Event for $370,096, and finishing 9th in the 714-entry BSOP Championship for $50,888.
Kabrhel, who had only played a single Triton event in his life before WSOP Paradise, then ripped off a third-place finish in the $125,000 7-Max event, winning $1,367,000 – the third-largest score of his career. He also went reasonably deep in the WSOP Super Main Event, finishing 56th for $150,000.
With WSOP Europe about to kick off in his home country on March 31st, Kabrhel will certainly be competing for every bracelet as he looks to extend his legacy.
