Regional newsTsuf Saltsberg staged a comeback to win the €3,000 PLO High Roller event at the 2026 King's Million European Poker Championship, taking home €87,000 and his first live tournament title. The event attracted 142 entries and had a prize pool of €500,000. Another long day at the 2026 King's Million European Poker Championship has come to an end, and for Tsuf Saltsberg, the wait was worthwhile. After a heads-up deal, Saltsberg won by flipping a coin to claim his first live tournament title in the €3,000 PLO High Roller event. After more than 15 hours of intense play, Saltsberg rallied from a significant deficit against Oliver Tot, then agreed to an ICM deal to adjust the prize money for the top two players and played a final hand to decide the King's Resort Royal Scepter. Saltsberg emerged victorious, winning his first poker trophy. "I've been playing poker for about ten years," the champion told PokerNews. “For the past five years I’ve almost exclusively played PLO, PLO tournaments, and cash games. I’ve spent most of my time playing online poker, so yes, this is the first time I’ve won a major live event. I love it, I love this moment.” The two-day tournament saw a surge of 142 entries during the late registration phase, all vying for a share of the €500,000 prize pool. With a total of 60 new entries, Saltsberg beat everyone to take home €87,000, his second-largest live prize of his career. This achievement comes just days after his 11th-place finish in the €1,500 PLO tournament, one of Saltsberg’s many close victories over the past five years. €3,000 PLO High Roller Final Table Results Rank Player Country Prize 1st Tsuf Saltsberg Israel €87,000* 2nd Oliver Tot Slovakia €96,800* 3rd raketrap Poland €47,900 4th Paul Haus UK €33,100 5th Alessandro De Michele Italy €23,700 6th Antoine Vranken Netherlands €17,700 7th Eran Carmi Israel €13,700 8th Bastian Bluem Germany €11,100 9th Michael Germany €9,400 *Indicates heads-up ICM Agreement Dramatic Developments on Day Two The final day began with 28 players after the first day's bagging.
