The WSOP Europe 2026 lowered the curtain at the King’s Casino at the Hilton Prague

República Checa
, but it did so with a final explosion worthy of a blockbuster. While the coronation of Marius Kudzmanas

in the Main Event was still echoing, the festival had one last bombshell up its sleeve: the €8.400 GGMillion$ High Roller. And there, among established figures and top-tier sharks, an unexpected name emerged to take all the glory: Christian Pedersen
Dinamarca
.

The Dane overcame a very tough field of 359 entries and conquered the final bracelet of the series, in addition to the GGMillion$ trophy and a prize of €600.000. It was no ordinary victory. In the heads-up, he defeated none other than Punnat Punsri

, one of the most feared players on the circuit and a permanent contender for everything he plays.

Pedersen, a professional since early 2020, had left multi-table tournaments behind to focus on online cash games. However, he continued traveling to certain live stops looking for that result that would change his history. And he certainly found it in Prague: this was only his second WSOP cash and, furthermore, his first major live title.

, while the final table bubble stretched for nearly two hours in unbearable tension. Once the final redraw was set, Pedersen took control and never let go.

His turning point came after eliminating Mike Watson

, who had started the final table as the chip leader. From there, the Dane steamrolled mercilessly until reaching the final duel with a dominant lead.

Punsri managed to even things up for a moment, but he couldn’t change the script. In the decisive all-in, Pedersen found a lifeline again with a pair of threes that held up this time. Thus, he closed the WSOP Europe 2026 with the best possible photo: bracelet in hand, a smile of relief, and the feeling of having stopped being a prospect to suddenly become a reality.
