Caitlin Comeskey Poker Player Profile
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Caitlin Comeskey has developed one of poker’s more unusual two-track careers, combining award-winning comedy and poker content with an increasingly significant live tournament résumé. Her competitive breakthrough accelerated during the 2026 World Series of Poker, where she reached two final tables, made a deep run in the Main Event and recorded the largest live cash of her career.
As of August 2026, the official WSOP player database lists Comeskey with zero bracelets, zero WSOP Circuit rings, two WSOP final tables, 31 WSOP cashes and $332,870 in WSOP earnings. PokerNews, using Hendon Mob data on its player page, lists her with $605,150 in total live tournament earnings.
⠀
Who Is Caitlin Comeskey?
Caitlin Comeskey is an American poker player, comedian and content creator whose career has grown from regional Texas tournaments into major World Series of Poker events.
Poker.org describes Comeskey as originally from Dallas, Texas, while Hendon Mob records have listed her residence as Austin. Her results also reflect strong ties to the Texas poker scene, including several major finishes at The Lodge Card Club in Round Rock.
Comeskey became widely recognizable in poker through short comedy sketches parodying players, personalities and situations from the game. That work expanded her profile beyond tournament results and made her one of the more visible poker-focused content creators of the 2020s.
Her live tournament résumé has evolved at the same time. Early results were concentrated primarily in no-limit hold’em, but her later record includes substantial activity in mixed games such as Omaha hi-lo, H.O.R.S.E., eight-game, no-limit 2-7 lowball draw and seven-card stud hi-lo.
⠀
Early Tournament Breakthroughs
Comeskey recorded one of her first major live scores in April 2022 at The Lodge Monthly Monster in Round Rock, Texas.
She finished second in the $600 no-limit hold’em event, which drew 1,159 entries, earning $60,035. That result established a career high that stood for more than four years.
Later in 2022, Comeskey again finished runner-up in a Lodge Monthly Monster. She earned $55,328 from the October edition, another large regional score that helped establish her as a regular tournament competitor rather than only a poker media personality.
Those results became the foundation of a résumé that gradually expanded into WSOP, WPT and other national events.
⠀
Poker Content and Global Poker Awards
Comeskey’s influence in poker has extended well beyond the felt.
She became known for short-form comedy videos that parody poker culture and recognizable personalities within the game. Her work earned industry recognition through the Global Poker Awards.
PokerStars reported that Comeskey won the Rising Star in Content Creation award in 2023 and followed it by winning Best Short-Form Content Creator in 2024. The Global Poker Index also documented three nominations for her at the fifth Global Poker Awards, including Short-Form Content Creator, Best Video Content and Best X/Twitter Personality.
Comeskey also co-hosted the Aceholes poker podcast with comedian and poker player Nikki Limo. The show combined interviews, poker discussion and comedy, further establishing Comeskey as a personality who could move between playing, interviewing and entertainment.
That combination of tournament participation and media work has become a defining feature of her poker career.
⠀
Joining PokerStars Team Pro
In November 2024, PokerStars announced Comeskey as a new Team Pro member alongside Jason Koon.
The PokerStars announcement highlighted her work as a comedian, podcast host and player, as well as her ability to bring entertainment and poker knowledge together.
Her current affiliation has since changed. PokerNews now describes Comeskey as a former PokerStars ambassador. Because sponsorship relationships can change, that status should be treated as current only as of the most recent available reporting.
⠀
Expanding Into Mixed Games
One of the most important developments in Comeskey’s playing career has been her move into a broader range of poker formats.
By 2025 and 2026, her tournament results included cashes in H.O.R.S.E., eight-game mix, Omaha hi-lo, no-limit 2-7 lowball draw and seven-card stud hi-lo in addition to no-limit hold’em.
The shift became especially visible during the 2026 WSOP.
Before the Series, Comeskey won a $600 no-limit 2-7 single-draw event at the 2026 ARIA Poker Classic for $12,539. She then cashed in multiple mixed-game bracelet events at the WSOP, including Omaha hi-lo, 2-7 lowball and pot-limit Omaha hi-lo.
Her willingness to compete across formats culminated in one of the strongest results of her career.
⠀
2026 WSOP Stud Hi-Lo Final Table
Comeskey recorded her career-best live tournament score in Event #75: $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better Championship at the 2026 World Series of Poker.
The event attracted 190 entries and generated a $1,767,000 prize pool.
Comeskey reached the final table and finished fifth for $97,785, according to the official WSOP results.
The performance was significant for several reasons. It was her largest recorded live cash, came in a $10,000 championship event and demonstrated that her growing mixed-game résumé could translate into a deep run against a championship-level field.
⠀
Fourth Place in the 2026 WSOP Ladies Championship
Only days before the Stud Hi-Lo final table, Comeskey made another major run in the $1,000 WSOP Ladies No-Limit Hold’em Championship.
The tournament drew 1,475 entries and created a $1,298,000 prize pool.
Comeskey advanced to fourth place and earned $67,735. The official WSOP payout results show Skye Chen as the winner, with Aubrey Williams second, Lisa Teebagy third and Comeskey fourth.
The finish gave Comeskey two WSOP final tables during the same summer and was, at that point, one of the largest tournament scores of her career.
⠀
Deep Run in the 2026 WSOP Main Event
Comeskey followed those two final tables with another significant result in the $10,000 WSOP Main Event.
The 2026 Main Event attracted 9,208 entries. During the middle stages of the tournament, Comeskey built one of the more notable stacks among the remaining players and entered Day 5 with 1.74 million chips.
PokerNews highlighted her run as part of increased participation by women in the Main Event and followed her progress deep into the tournament.
Comeskey eventually finished 105th for $65,000.
That result gave her three of the largest cashes of her career during a single WSOP:
$97,785 for fifth in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Championship
$67,735 for fourth in the $1,000 Ladies Championship
$65,000 for 105th in the $10,000 WSOP Main Event
The combination of two final tables and a top-105 Main Event finish made the 2026 WSOP the strongest major-series stretch of her career to that point.
⠀
Caitlin Comeskey’s WSOP Record
According to the official WSOP database, Comeskey had not won a WSOP bracelet or Circuit ring as of August 2026.
Her WSOP record nevertheless includes several notable achievements:
Two WSOP final tables
Fifth place in the 2026 $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Championship
Fourth place in the 2026 WSOP Ladies Championship
105th place in the 2026 WSOP Main Event
Cashes across no-limit hold’em and several mixed-game formats
31 WSOP cashes and $332,870 in WSOP earnings as listed by WSOP in August 2026
She also recorded multiple cashes during the 2026 WSOP Circuit Texas Card House Austin series, including a 23rd-place finish in the $1,700 Main Event for $12,840.
⠀
Career Earnings and Biggest Cash
Live tournament earnings change whenever a player records another qualifying result, and databases can update at different times.
As of August 2026, the PokerNews Caitlin Comeskey profile, which identifies Hendon Mob as its data provider, lists Comeskey with $605,150 in total live earnings.
Her largest recorded live cash is $97,785 from her fifth-place finish in the 2026 WSOP $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Championship.
Other major scores include $67,735 in the 2026 WSOP Ladies Championship, $65,000 in the 2026 WSOP Main Event, $60,035 at The Lodge in April 2022 and $55,328 at The Lodge in October 2022.
Because tournament databases are continually updated, career totals should always be read as a snapshot rather than a permanent figure.
⠀
Playing Style and Tournament Range
Comeskey’s results do not support reducing her game to a single playing-style label such as aggressive or conservative.
What can be established objectively is the increasing breadth of games she has entered successfully.
Her record includes significant results in:
No-limit hold’em
Seven-card stud hi-lo
Omaha hi-lo
Pot-limit Omaha hi-lo
H.O.R.S.E.
Eight-game mix
No-limit 2-7 lowball draw
No-limit 2-7 single draw
That range became particularly important during the 2026 WSOP, when several of her cashes came outside traditional no-limit hold’em.
⠀
Why Caitlin Comeskey Matters in Poker
Comeskey’s significance comes from the combination of competitive progress and poker media influence.
Before her biggest WSOP results, she was already recognized across the industry for comedy and short-form poker content. Two Global Poker Awards established her as an influential creator, while podcasting and ambassador work expanded her public role.
Her 2026 tournament results added a different dimension.
Finishing fifth in a $10,000 mixed-game championship, fourth in the Ladies Championship and 105th in the Main Event showed that her profile was no longer based primarily on content creation. She had developed a live tournament résumé with meaningful results in both hold’em and mixed games.
That combination makes Comeskey unusual among contemporary poker personalities: she has built an audience by making poker entertaining while simultaneously becoming a more accomplished tournament player.
⠀
Caitlin Comeskey’s Current Status
As of August 2026, Comeskey remains an active tournament player and poker content personality.
Her 2026 schedule included WSOP Circuit events, the ARIA Poker Classic and a heavy World Series of Poker schedule across multiple formats. The results produced her career-best cash, two WSOP final tables and a deep Main Event run.
Her next major career milestone remains open. She has yet to win a WSOP bracelet or Circuit ring, but her 2026 results demonstrated that she is capable of making deep runs in both large-field hold’em tournaments and high-buy-in mixed-game championships.
