Kayhan Mokri Net Worth 2026: $24M Earnings, WSOP Bracelet & 3 Triton Titles

Kayhan Mokri had never played a buy-in above $10,000 before 2023. Three years on he is Norway’s all-time tournament money leader and a three-time Triton champion, and his $7,725,000 win in the $250,000 Triton Invitational at WSOP Paradise in December 2025 brought his first WSOP bracelet.

His tracked live tournament earnings stand at more than $24 million across 89 cashes, per the Hendon Mob snapshot used here, and we estimate his net worth at $8 million to $12 million. Three wins between September 2024 and December 2025 account for roughly $13 million of that total.

This profile separates what’s verifiable from what’s estimated. Mokri’s results are public record, but the net worth figures circulating online carry no disclosed methodology. We cite the source for every figure and flag anything we cannot verify.

He built his game in Oslo club cash games and small-stakes online tables before switching to tournaments in 2022. Everything since has been checked against The Hendon Mob, WSOP.com and Triton’s official reports.

Kayhan Mokri’s net worth is estimated at $8 million to $12 million. No credible published estimate exists, so the range is built from his verified earnings and the costs that come off them. Nobody outside his own circle knows the real number.

The basis is simple. His live cashes total $24.4 million, his buy-ins run from $20,000 to $250,000 per entry, and the splits on his biggest win are private.

What is Kayhan Mokri’s net worth?

The range takes the gross live cashes, then deducts buy-ins, re-entries, staking and partnership splits, tax and the running cost of a high roller schedule. It is an estimate and it moves with every Triton stop.

Two things push the range higher than another player with the same total might expect. Most of his money arrived inside 15 months, so little of it has been recycled into losing years, and he came up through cash games rather than through backed tournament play.

Why do Kayhan Mokri net worth estimates vary?

The only figure published elsewhere comes with no method attached. Beyond that, five factors keep the true figure private:

How much has Kayhan Mokri won in poker?

$24,352,975 in tracked live tournament earnings across 89 cashes, per The Hendon Mob, which puts him 55th on the all-time money list with a best rank of 54th. That figure is gross payouts, before a single buy-in is deducted.

The ratio is the unusual part: a top-60 total from fewer than 100 cashes, because almost every result came at $20,000 and above.

WSOP.com tracks $9,764,705 of it through WSOP-branded and Triton-branded events, including the Paradise bracelet win. Triton’s own count passed $13 million after the Invitational.

Online is tracked separately. The Hendon Mob lists $1,411,502 across 304 online results, headlined by third place in the 2021 SCOOP Main Event for about $800,000 after a three-way deal, and the Global Poker Index had him 91st at the same snapshot.

Mokri started in Oslo’s poker clubs around 2015, playing cash games against local regulars while grinding small-stakes online tables. He told the World Poker Tour that he stumbled into the game by “random coincidence” and dabbled through college before it turned serious.

His PokerStars account dates to June 2014 under the screen name “KayhanMok”. The first live cash on his record came in Dublin in March 2016, and he went full-time in 2018.

The years in between were cash games, and the stakes rose fast. Wikipedia records him playing up to the highest limits at the Bellagio in Las Vegas before he made tournaments his focus in March 2022.

The switch paid immediately. He finished sixth in the €5,300 EPT Barcelona Main Event in August 2022 for €334,480, then made three PCA final tables in January 2023 worth $468,000 combined.

In October 2023 he won the $3,500 WPT Global Fall Festival Championship for $90,122, playing as “SinZuang”, and became the first WPT Global player added to the Mike Sexton Champions Cup. The same week he finished sixth in the WCOOP $10,000 Main Event.

“I didn’t play anything over $10,000 before 2023,” he told the WPT that month. By the end of that year he had won more than $2.6 million.

Mokri’s tournament record is short and top-heavy. Since 2022 he has played a limited high roller schedule, and the wins have come in clusters: Barcelona every August, three Triton stops in a row, and six titles in 2025 alone.

Barcelona is where it started, and he keeps going back. Every year since 2022 has produced a deep run or a title at the EPT’s flagship stop.

Every payout above is the Hendon Mob figure in the currency it was paid.

The EPT Barcelona record

In August 2023 he won the €100,000 EPT Super High Roller for €750,960, his first live title. Twelve months later he defended it, beating Seth Davies heads-up for €1,372,420 from a 41-entry field and completing two straight €100K wins in Barcelona.

It did not become three in a row the following August. Leon Sturm took the 2025 edition while Mokri missed the money, then won the festival’s €50,000 Second Chance a few days later for €520,900.

In 2026 he ran the €100,000 event to heads-up for a third time and finished runner-up to Tom Fuchs from a 27-entry field for €707,000.

The EPT gave him more away from Barcelona. Cyprus in October 2024 brought a $25,000 title for $390,200 and a runner-up finish in the $20,000 event, and Paris in February 2026 added the €25,000 PLO High Roller for €314,780.

Barcelona also produced his only EPT Main Event final table, the sixth place in 2022 that announced him. Every August since has added a trophy or a deep run.

Three Triton titles in 13 months

His first Triton title came in Monte Carlo on 2 November 2024. He won the $30,000 NLH 8-Handed for $1,005,000 from 144 entries, at a final table with Hall of Famer Patrik Antonius in fifth.

Jeju, September 2025, was the one that changed his career. The $150,000 NLH 8-Handed drew 114 entries and a $17,100,000 prize pool, and Mokri brought the chip lead to the final table, fell to two big blinds, then doubled five times in nine hands.

He agreed a deal with Mario Mosböck that locked up $3,705,059, and won the $130,000 left on the table in the final hand against Mosböck’s king-three. Jason Koon, months after his record 12th Triton title in Montenegro, had gone out fifth chasing a 13th.

Paradise, December 2025, was bigger still. The $250,000 Triton Invitational drew a record 133 entries and a $33,250,000 prize pool, and Mokri led from the start of the final day to the last hand.

He closed it out against Gabriel Andrade, and Mokri’s $7.7M Triton Invitational win also delivered the bracelet. It was the third title in three consecutive full-schedule stops.

The running picture for this season, with every 2026 Triton winner and payout, is kept on our results page.

What is Kayhan Mokri’s biggest win?

The $7,725,000 first prize in the $250,000 Triton Invitational at WSOP Paradise on 7 December 2025. It doubled his previous best, the $3,835,059 from Jeju three months earlier, and came with a bracelet and a third Triton trophy inside 13 months.

Does Kayhan Mokri have a WSOP bracelet?

Yes, one. WSOP Paradise 2025 Event #5, the $250,000 Triton NLH Invitational, was a bracelet event, and WSOP.com records the win alongside 39 WSOP cashes and four final tables worth $9,764,705.

He cashed twice more that week: 17th of 103 in Sam Soverel’s Paradise PLO Main Event for $161,000, and 12th of 77 in the $150,000 8-Handed for $231,000.

Biggest live cashes

Ten results make up the bulk of his total. All ten below are Hendon Mob figures, with the original currency where the prize was paid in euros.

How many Triton titles does Kayhan Mokri have?

Three: Monte Carlo 2024, Jeju 2025 and Paradise 2025. The run started from an eighth-place finish as an Invitee in the 2023 London Luxon Invitational, worth $860,000, two years before Triton was calling him one of its elite pros.

Pot-Limit Omaha has become a second front. The Paris title came from a 38-entry field of four-card specialists, and the Paradise PLO Main cash shows the same range; the adjustments that format demands are covered in our four-card PLO strategy guide.

Norway’s all-time money leader

The Paradise win moved him past 2022 WSOP Main Event champion Espen Jørstad at the top of Norway’s all-time money list. Jørstad, who gave us his own account of the Main Event win, sits second with just under $20 million.

Mokri has added eight six-figure cashes in 2026, the largest of them the runner-up finish in Barcelona.

Cash games are where Mokri comes from, and he has never fully left them. Triton describes a player who “built up from playing cash games in small clubs in Oslo, all the way to the highest table”.

The online side started small. The World Poker Tour wrote in 2023 that he “cut his teeth primarily in small-stakes online cash games” and moved up through the pandemic years before tournaments took over.

Does Kayhan Mokri play cash games?

Yes, and at the top end. Before his tournament switch he played the highest limits at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, and in 2023 he told the WPT that grinding online cash from Oslo was still the plan between trips.

The heads-up matches are the most visible part. His heads-up matches against Ossi Ketola in North Cyprus and Jeju in 2025 put him on the streamed high-stakes stage, and Triton followed with a heads-up sit-and-go broadcast against the player known as Monarch that September.

The documented matches so far:

Online, publicly tracked sessions in early 2026 showed him in $2,500/$5,000 no-limit hold’em heads-up games on CoinPoker. Session figures circulating for those games have not been verified against any official record.

Those sessions sit outside every tracked total on this page. The tournament record is the part that can be verified; the cash game record is the part he built it on.

Mokri does not describe his own game in solver terms, and no interview on record labels it. What the record shows is a cash game player who treats final tables as a place to apply pressure and who only wants the best opponents.

“The motivation for me is playing against the best,” he told the WPT in 2023. Hunting for amateurs to play against, he said, “doesn’t give me anything”. The interviews after Jeju and Paradise were about the opponents and the format, not the money.

What is Kayhan Mokri’s playing style?

Aggressive with a lead, patient without one. At Jeju in 2025 Triton wrote that his “understated table manner conceals a real battler’s heart” after the two-big-blind comeback, and at Paradise he arrived at the final table with 77 big blinds and never lost the lead.

The hands that decided those tables were flips he chose to take: pocket nines against ace-king, king-queen against pocket nines, a call with a ten in hand to close Jeju. The pattern is a player who values fold equity and pressure over waiting for premium hands.

That selectivity shows in the record: a small cash count for a player inside the all-time top 60, and three titles from a handful of Triton stops.

It also shapes how he is read at the table. Gabriel Andrade joked about his luck at Paradise, but the chip lead was built over two days before any of the famous rivers arrived.

The Paradise final table produced the hand of his career. Cong Pham opened ace-king, Mokri jammed pocket nines from the button, and the flop came seven-ace-ace.

The turn changed nothing and the river brought a nine. “That’s disgusting,” said Kevin Rabichow in the commentary booth as Pham left in eighth for $967,000.

Pham had called with all 26 of his big blinds despite the pay jumps still to come. For why that call is harder than it looks, see how ICM changes final table shoves.

Jonathan Jaffe was next. A two-time champion himself since his second Triton Super High Roller title, Jaffe went out fourth when Mokri’s king-queen hit a king on the flop and a queen on the river against pocket nines.

Albert Daher had invited Mokri as his nominated pro, and both partners reached the final. Mokri’s ace-king beat Daher’s queen-eight for third, and Triton put the partnership’s combined haul at more than $10 million.

“Albert and me are great friends and I always enjoy playing with him,” Mokri said afterwards. “But he got kind of annoying so I kicked him to the kerb in the end.”

Daher’s own turn came in 2026 with a €2M One Drop win at EPT Monte Carlo, beating Stephen Chidwick heads-up.

Heads-up, Andrade spent the late stages joking about the horseshoe he claimed was lodged somewhere inside Mokri. It never came loose: Mokri’s nine-seven flopped two pair against Andrade’s nine-five on the final hand.

There are no controversies on his record. His one public intervention on an industry issue came in 2025, when he backed a full ban on electronic devices at the table after Jason Koon raised the cheating problem, writing that people were “cheating left and right”.

Mokri lives in Oslo and keeps his life away from the table private. No partner, family or business interests have been made public, and this profile does not speculate.

How old is Kayhan Mokri?

He was born on 22 June 1994, which makes him 32 years old. He was 29 when he won his first EPT title and 31 when he won the Invitational.

His stated goals in 2023 were “establishing a schedule, hitting the gym, having a social life”, with a business of some kind as the longer-term plan. His X and Instagram accounts are listed in the References below.

Nineteen cashes, roughly $3.2 million, and nothing bigger than a €25,000 title: that is 2026 so far. Paris set the tone in February, with the PLO High Roller trophy, third in the €25,000 Super High Roller Warm-Up for €122,300 and a 65th in the EPT Main Event.

March brought third place in the Jeju $20K for $482,000 from a 247-entry field, plus tenth in the $150,000 10th Anniversary Special for $261,000 and 13th in the $125,000 7-Handed for $200,000, during Triton’s 10th anniversary Jeju festival.

April added a cash in the €20,800 Super High Roller at WSOP Europe, 34th of 242. May brought sixth in the $50,000 7-Handed at Triton Montenegro for $331,000, won by Christoph Vogelsang, and second place in a €100,000 invitational freezeout at EPT Monte Carlo for which no payout was recorded.

Barcelona in August came closest to a headline. He reached heads-up in the €100,000 Super High Roller for the third time and finished second to Tom Fuchs for €707,000, either side of a sixth and a third in the festival’s €25,000 events.

September took him back to Jeju, where he cashed three times: 17th in the $20,000, sixth in the $40,000 Mystery Bounty for $142,000 and 20th in the $50,000.

He has not announced a schedule, but the pattern since 2023 is a few Triton stops, EPT Barcelona and Paradise in December. His next result will appear in our latest poker news from the live circuit.

This player profile separates verifiable facts from estimates and public claims. We cannot accurately calculate any player’s net worth, but we aim to publish transparent, verifiable information.

How we handle ‘net worth’

We do not treat any net worth figure as fact. Third-party estimates are reported with their source and caveats. Where no credible methodology is disclosed, we say so.

Mokri’s range is our own, built from his Hendon Mob earnings and the costs that come off them. We present it as an estimate, not a confirmed figure.

How we report earnings

Tournament earnings figures come from The Hendon Mob, which tracks live results only. Databases that also fold in online results publish higher totals, and we say so rather than blending the two.

All figures are gross payouts before buy-ins, staking splits, taxes, and expenses. We update earnings after each major series.

How we cover controversies

We report what was alleged, what the player said in response, and where the matter stands. We do not take sides.

Mokri has no controversies on record. If one arose, it would be reported here with the same approach.
