Matthias Eibinger
Matthias Eibinger is an Austrian professional poker player whose success in the world’s most expensive tournaments spans No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha. By September 2026, he had won seven titles on the Triton Super High Roller Series and a World Series of Poker bracelet. His recorded live tournament earnings stood at 33.873.731 $, with a 3.461.261 $ victory at the 2023 Triton Monte Carlo Main Event as his largest single cash.
Those figures capture only public tournament prizes. They do not establish his net poker profit, and they exclude private games, entry fees, travel costs and any staking agreements. What the results do show is a player who has repeatedly won against small fields of exceptionally accomplished opponents and then adapted his game to another demanding format.
Early Life and Poker Beginnings
Eibinger was born on January 5, 1993, in the Graz area of Austria. Public accounts place his origins in Seiersberg, near Graz. He later became associated with Graz while building an international poker career.
Unlike players whose reputations were first established on television, Eibinger developed much of his game online. Digital poker offered a way to play a large number of hands, study difficult decisions and face strong opponents regularly. His online background became a foundation for the analytical approach that he later brought to live high rollers.
Detailed accounts of his childhood and family life are limited. His public story is defined primarily by the move from online competition into live events with increasingly large buy-ins. The transition required more than playing well: a tournament with a six-figure entry fee can end after one hand, and even outstanding players can endure long periods without a major result.
From Online Specialist to Live High Roller
Eibinger’s live results began to attract greater attention in the second half of the 2010s. He entered events that brought together established professionals, wealthy recreational players and online specialists seeking a place in the live high roller circuit.
One important result came at the 2018 WPT Aria Summer Championship in Las Vegas. Eibinger finished runner-up in a 100.000 $ No-Limit Hold’em event for 1.006.060 $. The seven-figure cash demonstrated that his online experience could translate into sustained success at a live final table.
He followed with further major scores. At the 2020 partypoker MILLIONS Super High Roller Series in Sochi, he finished second in a 100.000 $ event for 1.008.000 $. These runner-up finishes preceded the string of titles that would become the clearest measure of his career.
High roller fields are often small compared with the WSOP Main Event, but their average standard is extremely high. Eibinger became a regular against opponents who had also spent years studying modern tournament strategy. Results in that setting depend on adapting to changing stacks, payout pressure and opponents who recognize many of the same strategic patterns.
First Triton Victories in 2022
Eibinger won his first Triton title in Cyprus in March 2022, taking down a 50.000 $ No-Limit Hold’em Turbo for 676.000 $. In September of the same year, he won another 50.000 $ No-Limit Hold’em Turbo in Cyprus for 545.000 $.
Turbo events compress the time available to wait for strong starting hands. Blinds rise quickly, effective stacks shrink and players must make frequent decisions with little margin for hesitation. Two titles in the same demanding format established Eibinger as a particularly effective short-format competitor.
The wins also gave him credibility within a series that had become a regular meeting place for the strongest live high roller players. His next Triton victory would come in a much larger championship.
The 2023 Triton Monte Carlo Main Event
In October 2023, Eibinger won the 125.000 $ No-Limit Hold’em Main Event at Triton Monte Carlo. The 3.461.261 $ prize remains his largest recorded live tournament cash as of September 2026.
He faced Adrian Mateos heads-up and recovered from a substantial chip deficit before claiming the title. The final payout reflected a heads-up deal. The result mattered beyond its size: a Main Event played over a longer structure demanded different adjustments from the turbo tournaments that had produced his first two Triton trophies.
This was his third Triton victory. It also placed him among the series’ most successful repeat champions and confirmed that his results were not confined to a single tournament speed.
Continuing to Compete at the Highest Stakes
Eibinger remained active across the international high roller schedule. At the 2024 WSOP in Las Vegas, he finished fourth in the 250.000 $ Super High Roller for 1.688.278 $. A deep finish in an event with such a substantial buy-in was another major addition to his public tournament record.
He also finished fifth in the 2024 Triton Jeju 100.000 $ No-Limit Hold’em Main Event for 1.330.000 $. These scores illustrate why a poker player’s career cannot be reduced to a list of wins. A final-table finish in an elite field can represent a major achievement and a seven-figure payout without adding a trophy.
In 2025, he continued to find success in faster formats, winning the 50.000 $ Bounty Quattro Turbo at Triton Montenegro. His total award was 891.000 $, including 360.000 $ in bounties. Because bounty events combine a regular prize with payments for eliminations, those two components should be understood together when comparing the result with conventional tournament payouts.
A WSOP Bracelet and a Fifth Triton Title
December 2025 brought a distinctive double achievement at WSOP Paradise. Eibinger won the 75.000 $ Pot-Limit Omaha Six-Handed event, collecting 1.570.640 $. The tournament was part of a Triton collaboration, so the victory counted as both his first WSOP bracelet and his fifth Triton title.
The event drew 93 entries. Its short-handed format forced participants to contest more pots and navigate wide hand ranges. Pot-Limit Omaha also creates frequent drawing situations and large swings in equity from one community card to the next. Winning a major title in that game showed that Eibinger’s tournament skills extended well beyond No-Limit Hold’em.
The two honours should not be counted as two separate tournament wins. They came from the same event, which awarded recognition from both organizations.
The Pot-Limit Omaha Breakthrough in 2026
Eibinger’s Omaha success continued in 2026. At Triton Jeju in March, he won the 100.000 $ Pot-Limit Omaha Main Event for 1.787.000 $. It was his sixth title on the Triton series and one of his largest live prizes.
In May, he won the 50.000 $ Pot-Limit Omaha Mystery Bounty at Triton Montenegro. Triton listed his total award as 1.033.000 $, including 700.000 $ in bounties. That result gave him a seventh Triton title.
The sequence is striking: after establishing himself through Hold’em turbos and a Hold’em Main Event, Eibinger won three consecutive Triton titles in Omaha formats between December 2025 and May 2026. Each setting posed a different challenge: six-handed play, a long Main Event and a tournament where bounty prizes changed the incentives around eliminations.
The series’ official champions list still credited him with seven titles in its September 17, 2026 update. His repeated wins in both games make versatility a central part of his record.
Seven Triton Titles
The following table lists Eibinger’s Triton victories through September 17, 2026. Awards in bounty events include the bounty amounts reported by Triton.
| Year | Stop and event | Award |
| 2022 | Cyprus, 50.000 $ NLH Turbo | 676.000 $ |
| 2022 | Cyprus, 50.000 $ NLH Turbo | 545.000 $ |
| 2023 | Monte Carlo, 125.000 $ NLH Main Event | 3.461.261 $ |
| 2025 | Montenegro, 50.000 $ Bounty Quattro Turbo | 891.000 $ |
| 2025 | WSOP Paradise, 75.000 $ PLO Six-Handed | 1.570.640 $ |
| 2026 | Jeju, 100.000 $ PLO Main Event | 1.787.000 $ |
| 2026 | Montenegro, 50.000 $ PLO Mystery Bounty | 1.033.000 $ |
The Paradise victory is also the WSOP bracelet event. Some Triton stops distinguish their location and month because the series has returned to the same destination more than once in a year.

Major Tournament Results
Several of Eibinger’s largest recorded payouts show the range of events in which he has succeeded. The table includes wins and final-table finishes; it is a selection rather than a complete list of his cashes.
| Year | Tournament | Finish | Prize |
| 2023 | Triton Monte Carlo 125.000 $ NLH Main Event | 1st | 3.461.261 $ |
| 2026 | Triton Jeju 100.000 $ PLO Main Event | 1st | 1.787.000 $ |
| 2024 | WSOP 250.000 $ Super High Roller | 4th | 1.688.278 $ |
| 2025 | WSOP Paradise 75.000 $ PLO Six-Handed | 1st | 1.570.640 $ |
| 2024 | Triton Jeju 100.000 $ NLH Main Event | 5th | 1.330.000 $ |
| 2018 | WPT Aria 100.000 $ NLH High Roller | 2nd | 1.006.060 $ |
The 2025 Paradise row overlaps with the Triton titles table because one tournament awarded both the bracelet and a Triton trophy. Bounty tournament figures are also reported as combined amounts where indicated; an ordinary finishing-place prize does not describe their entire payout structure.
Playing Style and Study
Eibinger’s results reflect an ability to work across different tournament structures. The online environment helped develop the habit of examining ranges and reviewing decisions. Live high rollers then demanded adjustments to opponents, table composition and the practical pressure of large sums at stake.
His turbo titles show comfort when stacks become shallow and decisions come quickly. The 2023 Monte Carlo Main Event demonstrates endurance in a longer Hold’em structure. His later Omaha titles show a willingness to study a game in which players receive four hole cards and must use exactly two of them at showdown.
No single label fully explains a tournament winner’s approach. In Eibinger’s case, the strongest evidence is the variety of formats he has won and the frequency with which he has returned to major final tables.
Pokercode and the Wider Poker Community
Eibinger is also associated with Pokercode, a poker education platform he co-founded with Fedor Holz. The venture connects his own experience as a high stakes professional with structured poker study for other players.
Sharing strategic ideas is a significant change from earlier eras, when professionals often guarded their methods closely. Modern competitors can review hands together, discuss tournament situations and use software to test assumptions. Eibinger’s involvement in education fits the study culture that shaped his generation of players.
Public tournament reports offer a clear record of prizes and titles, but they reveal less about the private work behind them. Preparation, collaboration and repeated adjustment remain important parts of sustaining results at the top of a changing game.
Live Earnings and What They Mean
The Hendon Mob listed Eibinger’s recorded live tournament earnings at 33.873.731 $ in September 2026, with 3.461.261 $ as his best live cash. The sum is a total of recorded gross prizes, not a measure of profit or personal wealth.
A player entering 50.000 $, 100.000 $ and 250.000 $ events incurs substantial buy-ins. Results may also involve shared action or backing arrangements that a public database cannot show. Online poker, private cash games, expenses and taxes sit outside the live earnings number.
What can be said with confidence is that Eibinger has built one of the most substantial public tournament records among Austrian players. His seven Triton titles and WSOP bracelet give those earnings a competitive context that a single aggregate figure cannot provide.
Matthias Eibinger’s Poker Legacy
Eibinger’s career traces a path from online specialization to repeated victories on the international high roller circuit. He first made his name with major Hold’em results, captured two Triton turbos in 2022, and won the Monte Carlo Main Event in 2023 for his career-best cash.
The next stage broadened that record. His 2025 Paradise win gave him a WSOP bracelet and Triton title in one Omaha tournament. Two more PLO victories in 2026 took him to seven Triton trophies and established his success in a second major poker discipline.
Future results may change his earnings and standing. As of September 2026, his record already demonstrates how far an adaptable online-era professional can progress across the most demanding live tournament formats.
