Punnat Punsri 🇹🇭

Pan Sri, from Bangkok, Thailand, has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the post-pandemic era. Before conquering the Super High Roller, he caused a sensation in Asia by winning the 2023 APT Taipei Main Event, earning over $365,000, the highest prize money ever won in Taiwan at the time. He is a brand ambassador for Natural8 and a regular participant in the Triton Poker Series, where he has won numerous titles. His rapid rise from a regional pro to competing alongside legends like Phil Ivey and Jason Kuhn is arguably one of the most remarkable career trajectories in modern poker history.

Punsri is known for his highly volatile, GTO-influenced style of play, which puts immense pressure on his opponents. He's willing to make bold moves in crucial moments; for example, his victory in Jeju Island is celebrated for a successful bluff against Henrik Hecklen during the bubble stage (described as a successful "all-in") that ultimately led to his win. This willingness to take the biggest risks for the biggest rewards is key to his success in top-level tournaments.

According to Hendon Mob, Punnat Punsri's poker net worth (based on live tournament winnings) has surged to over $31 million, placing him among the highest-paid players in poker history. He currently ranks 31st on the all-time global poker money list. His biggest single live tournament winnings are a staggering $3.107 million, earned from a third-place finish at the $262,500 Triton London Luxon Invitational in 2023. Punsri continued his dominance in 2024 and 2025, with highlights including: a victory in the Triton Jeju Poker Series $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em event in March 2024 for $2.01 million, a heads-up finish in the $1755 Series, and a runner-up finish in the EPT Barcelona €25,000 High Roller event in August 2025 for €347,020. He won the mixed games title at the 2025 APT Taipei Championship and the "4x Super Stud" event, showcasing his all-around skills beyond No-Limit Texas Hold'em. (Photo courtesy of the Asian Poker Tour)
