But beyond the numbers, what distinguishes Mokri is his approach. “The difference between me and most High Rollers is that many feel the obligation to play because they see it as their job. I prefer to go when I really feel like it. That way I enjoy it more. It’s a way of being,” he recently explained.
And the formula seems foolproof: last year he won six tournaments… out of ten played! A large part of his US$13,1 million in 2025 comes from victories at Triton Jeju and WSOP Paradise. For Mokri, the secret is not volume, but motivation. When he sits down, he is 100% committed. And in Paris, once again, he proved it.
