Dennis Weiss: Three-Time WSOP Bracelet Winner and PLO Specialist
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Dennis Weiss has developed from a Pot-Limit Omaha specialist into a three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner with success across PLO, Limit Hold’em and other mixed-game formats. The German professional’s rise includes a career-best $2.29 million WSOP high roller victory, a major PLO title at EPT Monte Carlo and an expanding record outside his primary game.
As of September 2026, Weiss has three WSOP bracelets. As checked on October 19, 2026, The Hendon Mob lists $3,834,450 in recorded live tournament earnings, including his two September 2026 Tallinn cashes. These are gross tournament cashes rather than profit or net worth.
⠀
Who Is Dennis Weiss?
Dennis Weiss is a German professional poker player best known for Pot-Limit Omaha. The Hendon Mob lists his residence as Vienna, Austria, while tournament databases and official event records identify him as representing Germany.
His recorded tournament results date back to at least 2019, but his profile grew substantially during the middle of the 2020s. Weiss established himself internationally through Omaha results before adding major WSOP victories and demonstrating that his tournament range extends beyond four-card poker.
Weiss has described PLO, including five-card Omaha, as his primary area of experience. His later results in Limit Hold’em, Razz, lowball and Omaha Hi-Lo have also shown a growing commitment to mixed-game tournament poker.
⠀
Dennis Weiss’s Rise in Tournament Poker
Weiss’s first major breakthrough came during the 2024 World Series of Poker Europe at King’s Resort in Rozvadov.
Playing Event #6: €5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha, Weiss defeated a 141-entry field and beat fellow German Amir Mozaffarian heads-up. The victory was worth €159,897 and delivered the first WSOP bracelet of his career.
The result was particularly significant because Omaha was already his primary game. Weiss told PokerNews after the victory that he played mostly PLO and five-card Omaha while also enjoying opportunities to compete in mixed games.
That first bracelet was followed less than nine months later by a much larger result in Las Vegas.
⠀
Second WSOP Bracelet and a $2.29 Million Career-Best Score
Weiss entered the 2025 World Series of Poker as an established bracelet winner, but Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha moved his tournament career to another level.
The event attracted 489 entries and created an $11,491,500 prize pool. Weiss reached the final day with the chip lead and eventually defeated Michael Duek heads-up to win his second bracelet.
According to the official WSOP results, Weiss earned $2,292,155.
The seven-figure payday remains his largest recorded live tournament cash. It also represented a dramatic increase from his previous best scores and established Weiss as a proven high-stakes PLO tournament winner.
⠀
Third WSOP Bracelet Comes in Limit Hold’em
Weiss added another dimension to his résumé at the 2026 World Series of Poker.
On June 10, 2026, he won Event #30: $1,500 Limit Hold’em 7-Handed at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas. The tournament drew 510 entries and generated a $677,025 prize pool.
Weiss defeated Omar Mehmood heads-up and collected $133,704. The victory, confirmed by the official WSOP Event #30 results, gave him his third career bracelet.
The format made the achievement different from his first two WSOP victories. Both earlier bracelets had come in Pot-Limit Omaha, while the third arrived in a form of poker that Weiss had only recently begun studying more seriously.
His mixed-game progress continued almost immediately. Just days after winning the Limit Hold’em event, Weiss finished runner-up to Sebastian Pauli in the $1,500 Razz event for $90,354.
That combination of results showed that Weiss was no longer succeeding exclusively through his established Omaha expertise.

Dennis Weiss’s WSOP Bracelets
As of September 2026, Weiss has won three WSOP bracelets:
2024 WSOP Europe Event #6: €5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha — €159,897
2025 WSOP Event #51: $25,000 High Roller Pot-Limit Omaha — $2,292,155
2026 WSOP Event #30: $1,500 Limit Hold’em 7-Handed — $133,704
His first two bracelets came in PLO, while his third demonstrated his development in another poker discipline.
The WSOP’s general player-summary page has displayed outdated aggregate information for Weiss, but the individual WSOP event records and contemporary tournament coverage confirm all three bracelet victories.
⠀
EPT Monte Carlo PLO High Roller Victory
Weiss also produced one of the biggest non-WSOP results of his career at the 2026 PokerStars European Poker Tour stop in Monte Carlo.
He first finished runner-up in the €10,200 Pot-Limit Omaha 6-Max event for €109,700.
Two days later, Weiss won the €30,000 PLO 6-Max High Roller. The tournament attracted 28 entries, and Weiss defeated Erik Nordstrand heads-up to collect €351,640.
PokerStars described Weiss as a PLO expert in its official EPT Monte Carlo coverage. The victory added another major high-stakes Omaha title to a résumé already highlighted by two PLO bracelets.

Dennis Weiss’s Live Tournament Earnings
As checked on October 19, 2026, The Hendon Mob lists Dennis Weiss with $3,834,450 in recorded live tournament earnings and a best live cash of $2,292,155.
At the Diamond Poker Series PLO Grand Slam in Tallinn in September 2026, Weiss finished fourth in the €15,300 High Roller for €48,600. He then finished 13th in the €5,200 5k Million for another €9,850.
Those two results total €58,450 and are now included in the displayed Hendon Mob earnings figure. The database records their historical US-dollar equivalents separately.
Live tournament earnings change as players record new results and databases update their records.
⠀
Playing Style and Poker Specialties
Pot-Limit Omaha remains the clearest foundation of Weiss’s poker career.
His first WSOP bracelet, second WSOP bracelet, career-best score and 2026 EPT Monte Carlo high roller victory all came in PLO. He has also competed extensively in five-card Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo formats.
Tournament coverage from his 2025 $25,000 PLO High Roller victory described an aggressive approach that helped Weiss apply pressure while holding a large stack. It is more useful, however, to view his playing reputation through his results rather than assign a broad stylistic label from individual tournaments.
By 2026, Weiss had begun demonstrating substantially greater mixed-game range. In addition to winning a Limit Hold’em bracelet and finishing second in Razz, he recorded cashes in No-Limit 2-7 Lowball Draw, Limit 2-7 Triple Draw, Big O and PLO Hi-Lo events during the WSOP.
That diversification is one of the most notable developments in his recent career.
⠀
Why Dennis Weiss Matters in Poker
Weiss’s significance comes primarily from the speed and range of his recent tournament success.
He won his first bracelet in September 2024, added a $2.29 million PLO high roller bracelet in June 2025 and captured a third bracelet in a completely different format in June 2026.
His résumé combines specialist-level Omaha results with growing success in games outside PLO. That progression separates his recent career from that of a player whose tournament reputation rests on a single format or one breakthrough victory.
The $25,000 PLO High Roller win remains the financial centerpiece of his results, but his 2026 performances provided evidence that his tournament profile was broadening.
⠀
Dennis Weiss’s Current Poker Activity
Weiss remained active on the international tournament circuit through September 2026.
His 2026 season included the EPT Monte Carlo PLO high roller victory, a third WSOP bracelet, a runner-up finish in WSOP Razz and multiple additional WSOP cashes.
He then returned to PLO competition at the Diamond Poker Series in Tallinn in September. The official Diamond Poker Series results show Weiss finishing fourth in the €15,300 High Roller for €48,600, while subsequent series coverage recorded his 13th-place finish in the €5,200 5k Million for €9,850.
Those results confirm that Weiss remained an active high-stakes tournament player after the 2026 WSOP, with PLO continuing to form the core of his schedule.
