His résumé includes two WSOP bracelets, three WSOP Circuit rings and multiple seven-figure tournament scores.
As of September 21, 2026, PokerNews lists Mustafov with more than $12.2 million in live tournament earnings, using data supplied by The Hendon Mob. His results have come across no-limit hold’em, pot-limit Omaha and high-stakes tournaments around the world.
⠀
Who Is Fahredin Mustafov?
Fahredin Mustafov is a Bulgarian professional poker player and high-stakes tournament regular. The Hendon Mob database identifies Bulgaria as his nationality and Sofia as his residence.
His recorded live tournament results stretch back to 2010. Over the following decade and a half, Mustafov progressed from European regional events into WSOP competition, major PokerStars festivals, partypoker MILLIONS events and some of the largest buy-in tournaments on the international calendar.
Mustafov has produced significant results in both no-limit hold’em and pot-limit Omaha. That versatility is reflected in his WSOP record, where his career includes bracelet victories, Circuit titles and a runner-up finish in a $10,000 championship event.
⠀
Fahredin Mustafov’s Poker Career
Mustafov began accumulating live tournament cashes in Europe before gaining wider attention during the middle of the 2010s.
One of his first major international breakthroughs came at the 2015 WPT Prague Main Event. Mustafov reached the final three of the €3,300 tournament and eventually finished third for €77,500. The World Poker Tour records the result as his only WPT Main Tour top-three finish.
His results accelerated in 2017. At the WSOP International Circuit stop in Rozvadov, Mustafov won a €2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha High Roller for €44,210. Later that year, he returned to Rozvadov and captured the €5,300 No-Limit Hold’em High Roller for €70,300.
Those victories helped establish Mustafov as a regular presence in larger European events. In 2018, he added one of his biggest early-career titles by winning a €10,300 event at the partypoker MILLIONS Grand Final in Barcelona for €400,000.
⠀
WSOP Bracelets and Circuit Rings
The World Series of Poker officially lists Mustafov with two bracelets and three Circuit rings as of September 2026.
His first bracelet came online in 2025. Mustafov won the $25,000 GGMillion$ Super High Roller Championship during the WSOP Online series, defeating a 192-entry field and earning $956,138. The official WSOP results show him finishing ahead of Artsiom Lasouski and Biao Ding at the top of the standings.
Mustafov added his second bracelet at the 2026 WSOP Europe series in Prague. He won Event #7, the €2,200 Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold’em tournament. WSOP lists Mustafov as the event winner, while PokerNews reported a €142,420 first-place payout before additional bounty earnings.
The victory demonstrated that his bracelet success was not limited to online competition and added a live WSOP Europe title to an already extensive international tournament record.
⠀
2026 WSOP Six-Max Championship Runner-Up
Mustafov came close to winning a third bracelet during the 2026 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
He reached heads-up play in Event #94, the $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold’em Championship. The tournament attracted 558 entries and generated a $5,189,400 prize pool.
Mustafov ultimately finished second to David Peters, earning $660,933. According to the official WSOP results, Peters collected $1,001,391 for the victory.
The runner-up finish was one of Mustafov’s largest WSOP cashes and continued a productive 2026 that also included victories and deep finishes in major European events.
⠀
High-Roller and Triton Poker Success
A substantial portion of Mustafov’s career earnings has come from high-stakes tournaments outside the WSOP.
His first recorded seven-figure live score arrived in March 2024 at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series in Jeju. Mustafov reached the final table of the $106,000 Main Event and finished sixth for $1,008,000. The tournament drew 139 entries and 77 re-entries, creating a $21.6 million prize pool.
Triton Poker reported the $1,008,000 payout, which at the time represented the largest live tournament cash of Mustafov’s career.
That result followed another major Triton performance in Monte Carlo in 2023, where Mustafov finished third in a $50,300 no-limit hold’em event for $715,000. He had also finished runner-up in a $25,000 Triton event in Cyprus in 2022 for $557,000.
Mustafov established a new career-best live cash in August 2025 when he won the $27,500 Onyx Super High Roller Series Main Event in Cyprus for $1.3 million. PokerNews lists the victory as the largest individual live tournament result of his career through September 2026.
⠀
Success Beyond No-Limit Hold’em
Although many of Mustafov’s largest scores have come in no-limit hold’em, his record also includes significant pot-limit Omaha results.
His first WSOP Circuit title came in PLO, and he continued demonstrating his ability in the format during the 2026 European Poker Tour stop in Paris.
Mustafov won the €5,200 Pot-Limit Omaha event at EPT Paris, defeating a field that generated 123 total entries including re-entries. He earned €154,650, approximately $182,000 at the recorded exchange rate. Hendon Mob records the victory among his notable 2026 results.
Success in both hold’em and Omaha has helped Mustafov build a tournament résumé that extends beyond a single format.
⠀
WPT and European Tournament Results
Mustafov has not won a World Poker Tour Main Tour title, but his 2015 WPT Prague third-place finish remains an important early milestone.
The World Poker Tour player database credits him with one Main Tour final table and one top-three finish.
His broader European record includes victories and final tables at PokerStars events, partypoker MILLIONS festivals, WSOP Circuit stops and high-roller series throughout the continent.
That consistency has made Mustafov one of the most frequently cashing Bulgarian players in recorded tournament poker. Hendon Mob rankings generated in September 2026 listed him first among Bulgarian players in number of qualifying recorded cashes.
⠀
Career Earnings and Biggest Cashes
Poker tournament earnings change whenever a player records another qualifying result, so career totals should always be treated as a snapshot rather than a permanent statistic.
As of September 21, 2026, PokerNews lists Mustafov with more than $12.2 million in live tournament earnings. The total places him among the leading Bulgarian tournament earners.
His major scores include the following live results and a separately identified online bracelet victory. The online prize should not be added to or treated as part of the live-only earnings total:
$1.3 million for winning the 2025 Onyx Super High Roller Series Main Event
$1,008,000 for sixth place in the 2024 Triton Jeju Main Event
$956,138 for winning the 2025 WSOP Online $25,000 GGMillion$ Super High Roller Championship
$715,000 for third place at the 2023 Triton Monte Carlo festival
$660,933 for second place in the 2026 WSOP $10,000 6-Handed Championship
$557,000 for second place in a 2022 Triton event in Cyprus
Those results show a career built not around a single breakthrough tournament, but around repeated success in high-stakes fields over several years.
⠀
Fahredin Mustafov’s Playing Profile
Mustafov’s tournament record identifies him primarily as a high-stakes tournament professional with extensive experience in no-limit hold’em and meaningful success in pot-limit Omaha.
Rather than relying on an unverified label for his playing style, his results provide the clearest description of his competitive profile. He has won turbo and bounty tournaments, captured both online and live WSOP bracelets, won PLO events and reached final tables in six-max and super high roller competition.

Mustafov continued recording results after the WSOP. He cashed multiple events during the August Onyx High Roller Series in Cyprus, including a ninth-place finish in the $25,500 Main Event for $143,000.
His activity extended into September. PokerNews recorded Mustafov finishing eighth for $40,000 in the $2,200 Global Poker Championship during the 2026 Mediterranean Poker Party.
Those results confirm that Mustafov remains an active international tournament professional rather than a player whose reputation rests primarily on earlier achievements.
