Marquee Pros Confirm Attendance for WSOP Europe 2026 in Prague

The world of high-stakes poker is turning its collective gaze toward the Czech Republic as the WSOP Europe 2026 approaches. 

This year, the prestigious series will be hosted across two iconic venues: the Hilton Atrium and King's Casino. With gold bracelets on the line and the atmosphere of Prague providing a stunning backdrop, the 2026 edition promises to be one for the history books.

The early player confirmations read like a "who is who" of the Poker Hall of Fame and modern-day crushers. Five of the biggest names in the game have officially announced their intent to compete for European glory.

The "Poker Brat" arrives in Prague with an unmatched record of 17 WSOP bracelets. Hellmuth is no stranger to success on this side of the Atlantic, having won the WSOP Europe Main Event back in 2012. He heads into this series with his sights firmly set on bracelet number 18 to extend his historic lead.

"The Grinder" is currently enjoying the most decorated stretch of his legendary career. After winning his fourth $50,000 Poker Players Championship in 2025, he went on to claim the 2025 WSOP Main Event title for a massive $10,000,000 prize. Now a fresh inductee into the Poker Hall of Fame, Mizrachi looks to add a ninth bracelet to his collection in Prague.

As one of only two players to ever win the WSOP Player of the Year title twice, Deeb remains a constant threat in any format. Coming off a dominant 2025 where he secured his seventh and eighth bracelets, including the €50,000 GGMillions at last year's WSOP Europe, Deeb is a favorite to climb even higher on the all-time list this winter.

The hometown hero and Czech Republic’s all-time money leader will be the man to beat at King's Casino. Kabrhel holds five WSOP bracelets, four of which were earned right here at WSOP Europe. After taking down the €10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event in 2025, he returns to defend his home turf.

At just 30 years old, Lonis has become a high-stakes fixture. With over $6 million in WSOP earnings and two bracelets to his name, including a massive $2.3 million win in the $50,000 PLO High Roller, Lonis is quickly chasing down the legends of his home state of New York.

The 2026 series is not just about the bracelets. Players can also look forward to the Rise in Prague Golden Egg Hunt promotion, adding an extra layer of value and excitement to the festivities.

Beyond the core five headliners, other legendary figures have confirmed their attendance, including the iconic John Juanda and former WSOP Europe Main Event champion Annette Obrestad. With such a dense concentration of talent, the 2026 series is set to be a high-intensity showdown.

The WSOP Europe 2026 in Prague is shaping up to be a monumental event for the global poker community. 

With legends like Hellmuth and Mizrachi facing off against modern titans like Deeb and Lonis, the action at the Hilton Atrium and King's Casino will be peerless. 

Whether you are chasing the Rise in Prague Golden Egg Hunt or railbirding the quest for gold bracelets, this is the place to be.
