Marius Kudzmanas: WSOP Europe champion and KPC King’s Main Event winner
POKER HALL OF FAME
Inducted 2014
Marius Kudzmanas is a Lithuanian tournament poker player whose achievements span online bracelet events and major live championships. He won the 2026 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event in Prague for €2,000,000 and later added the KPC King’s Main Event title in Jeju, South Korea.
⠀
Online success and WSOP bracelets
Kudzmanas had already won two WSOP bracelets online before his breakthrough in Prague. The WSOP’s official championship announcement distinguishes those earlier online wins from his first live bracelet.
As checked on October 21, 2026, his official WSOP player profile lists three bracelets and no Circuit rings. Bracelet victories and Circuit titles are separate achievements; neither count should be inferred from a player’s total tournament wins.

The 2026 WSOP Europe Main Event
The €5,300 championship at King’s Casino in Hilton Prague became a defining live result for Kudzmanas. The official event record lists 2,617 entries, with the tournament concluding on April 10, 2026.
Kudzmanas earned €2,000,000 for first place. The victory gave him his third career bracelet and his first won at a live WSOP event, rather than his first bracelet overall.
⠀
A second major title in Jeju
On October 20, 2026, Kudzmanas won the $15,000 King’s Main Event during the KPC Poker October Series at LES A Casino in Jeju.
KPC’s official recap confirms his victory over Peng Huang and the $533,800 first prize. The event results record a 169-entry field.
⠀
Reading his tournament record
His Prague and Jeju titles show success in different live tournament settings alongside his established online results. The listed prizes are gross tournament cashes. They do not establish profit, investment returns or personal net worth, and the euro and dollar awards should not be combined without a stated exchange-rate basis.
