Martin Kabrhel participated in three events at the 2026 WSOP and made the money in all of them, including one final table. He was second in chips in the $3,000 freeze event.
Martin Kabrhel wasn't holding two positions at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) on Thursday. He was holding three.
The Czech high-stakes player was still playing three events simultaneously at the start of the day, one of which had already reached the final table. He had been traveling between Paris and Las Vegas for the past few days, rushing from one table to another, trying to win his sixth WSOP gold bracelet.
Kabrhel's Triple Mission

Kabrhel has been documenting his 2026 WSOP journey on YouTube. He entered Day 2 of the $3,000 Frozen No-Limit Hold'em and the $600 Deepstack No-Limit Hold'em tournaments, both with slightly below-average chip stacks.
This controversial yet popular poker pro quickly accumulated chips in the freeze event, rising to second place in chips among approximately 160 remaining players at the time of writing. He is short-stacked in deep-stack events.
Kabrhel also participated in a third event – the final table of the WSOP Online #20:$3,200 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller, which will determine the champion on Thursday. The two live events he is still participating in will not determine champions until Friday, overlapping with Day 1B of the WSOP Main Event.
Kabrhel made the money in all three events, bringing his total live WSOP winnings this summer to nine. His last bracelet win was at the WSOP Europe last October, and he also won the Mini Main Event in Las Vegas last year for $843,140. This talkative, high-stakes grinder failed to defend his Mini Main Event title this year, being eliminated on Day 1.
