Hellmuth, Mizrachi, Deeb, Kabrhel and Lonis Set to Compete at Hilton Atrium and King's Casino
Five of poker's biggest names have confirmed they will compete at WSOP Europe 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic, at the Hilton Atrium and King's Casino.
Jesse Lonis, Martin Kabrhel, Shaun Deeb, Phil Hellmuth and Michael Mizrachi have all announced their intent to make the trip, setting up a high-profile field for the 2026 series.
Jesse Lonis
At 30, Lonis has already built a résumé that most players spend a career chasing. He holds 3 WSOP Circuit victories and 2 WSOP bracelets, with north of $6 million in WSOP tournament winnings. His 2023 breakthrough came at the $50,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller, where he won $2,303,017 and his second bracelet. Names like Bryn Kenney, Isaac Haxton, Alex Foxen and Erik Seidel still sit above him on the all-time New York earnings list, but without those four, he would likely already be sitting at the top.
Martin Kabrhel
The Czech pro is the all-time leader in tournament earnings among Czech players, and he will be playing on home soil in Prague. Kabrhel holds five WSOP bracelets, four of which came at WSOP Europe, plus a Circuit ring at King's Casino Rozvadov. His most recent bracelet arrived at WSOP Europe 2025, winning the €10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event for €188,500.
Shaun Deeb
Deeb is one of only two players to win WSOP Player of the Year twice, alongside Daniel Negreanu. His seventh bracelet came at the 2025 WSOP in the $100,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for $2,957,229. He then added an eighth at WSOP Europe 2025, taking down the €50,000 GGMillion€ for €329,000.
Phil Hellmuth
The Poker Brat arrives in Prague with 17 bracelets and his sights set on number 18. Hellmuth won the 1989 WSOP Main Event and the 2012 WSOP Europe Main Event, and Prague represents another shot at adding to a record that has stood for decades.
Michael Mizrachi
Mizrachi comes in off the most decorated stretch of his career. He won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship for the fourth time in 2025, then took down the 2025 WSOP Main Event for $10,000,000 and his eighth bracelet. Shortly after, he was unanimously inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame. His WSOP Europe history includes a win in the €10,400 Split-Format No-Limit Hold'em for €336,008 back in 2011.
WSOP Europe 2026 will also feature the Rise in Prague Golden Egg Hunt promotion.
