WSOP says the €5,300 Main Event drew 2,617 entries and created a €13.085m prize pool, the largest open event in European history.

Marius Kudzmanas has won the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Europe Main Event, taking home the €2,000,000 top prize and the WSOP Europe Main Event Champion’s gold bracelet, WSOP announced on April 11, 2026.

WSOP said the €5,300 Main Event attracted 2,617 entries and generated a €13,085,000 prize pool, calling it the largest open event in European poker history.

Across the wider WSOP Europe festival, WSOP reported more than 80 countries represented, 15 WSOP gold bracelets awarded, over €39,500,000 in prizes, and 15,779 total entries across all bracelet events.

WSOP also highlighted Switzerland’s Anna Eggenberger winning the inaugural WSOP Europe €1,000 Ladies Championship for her first bracelet, topping a 197-player field that WSOP said was the biggest ladies championship event ever held outside of Las Vegas.

WSOP executives framed the turnout as a signal of momentum heading into the summer WSOP in Las Vegas, scheduled to run May 26 through July 15. “We are absolutely thrilled with the phenomenal success of this year’s WSOP Europe, which has set new parameters for poker on the continent,” said Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of WSOP. Gregory Chochon, Chief Operating Officer of WSOP, added: “This edition of WSOP Europe was the best yet, and we’d like to sincerely thank all of the players, dealers, staff, partners, and media that came together to make the festival so special. A core WSOP goal is to continually refine and improve our events – with that in mind, we can’t wait for the action to kick off next month in Las Vegas!”

The Bounty Hunters Series is celebrated for its innovative progressive bounty and mystery bounty formats.

The 2026 schedule features a variety of tournaments, headlined by three marquee multi-stage events:

In addition to the global schedule, GGPoker is running a dedicated Ontario edition with $2M guaranteed prizes from April 5–27, featuring a $250K GTD Mystery Bounty Main Event.

Daily Leaderboard and Bounty King

The excitement extends beyond individual events with the Daily Leaderboard, which has been boosted to $1,000,000 in total daily prizes. Players who accumulate the most knockouts compete for a share of the rewards, with over $40,000 awarded each day and the top hunter earning the coveted Daily Bounty King title.

Sarne Lightman, Managing Director at GGPoker, commented:
“The Bounty Hunters Series embodies everything GGPoker stands for: high-stakes excitement, substantial prizes, and a strategic layer that keeps every hand intense. With $80M in guarantees and a $1M daily leaderboard, players have even more incentive to participate. The mystery bounty format continues to captivate our audience, and the Main Event alone offers $5M guaranteed for life-changing wins.”

New players on GGPoker can take advantage of the Welcome Bonus, participate in the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion, and automatically join the Fish Buffet loyalty program, providing added value and engagement throughout the series.

The 2026 Bounty Hunters Series reaffirms GGPoker’s position as a leading global poker platform, delivering innovative tournaments, huge cash prizes, and an experience designed to attract players from around the world.
