Most successful players by tournament prize money

By country

Bryn Kenney is the most successful player by tournament prize money

All 74 countries for which an All Time Money List is kept in the Hendon Mob Poker Database and whose leader has earned at least one million US dollars in prize money are listed. Since the General Data Protection Regulation came into force on May 25, 2018, some poker players have had their results deleted from the database so that the players listed do not necessarily have to be the most successful in their country.

Since the General Data Protection Regulation came into force on May 25, 2018, some poker players have had their results deleted from the database, including the German players Fabian Quoss , Dietrich Fast , Benjamin Spindler , Christian Christner , Andreas Eiler and Johannes Becker and the Swiss Stefan Huber and Ronny Emperors who therefore do not appear in the following statistics. According to Hendon Mob , the most successful Swiss is Besim Hot with more than 2 million US dollars in tournament revenue.
