Team Pokercode ls in Las Vegas for the 2026 World Series of Poker! A few weeks in, the scoreboard is already going in the right direction- $1,219,287 in cashes across 21 in-the-money finishes, and the summer is only just starting!
The headline belongs to Samuel Mullur. In the $250,000 Super High Roller - one of the toughest line-ups of the entire series - Samuel outlasted all but five players to finish 6th for $760,417. He moved all in from the small blind on his final hand and could not get there, but a run that deep against that field is the kind of result most players chase for a career.
If you have followed Pokercode, the trajectory is familiar. Samuel entered the community at low-to-mid stakes, went through Grindhouse 3 - daily solver work, hand reviews, and a move to Vienna to live and study with future champions - then won a WSOP bracelet in 2023 and finished runner-up at the $100,000 Triton Jeju Main Event for $3.5M. The deep runs are not luck. They are the output of a process.
Samuel was far from alone in the toughest rooms in Las Vegas:
Sebastian Schulze ran all the way to 9th place in the $2,500 Freezeout for $44,840 - his second WSOP final table after chip-leading deep into the 2025 Main Event. He added a 61st-place finish in the $1,500 Millionaire Maker for $27,300 then as well. Roommate and best friend of WSOP Main Event finalist Luka Bojovic, Sebastian is already delivering meaningful results this summer as well. We're excited for more!
And the summer is not over. As of this update, Quirin Heinz - the first player ever signed to the Pokercode Stream Team - is the one player currently with a dee-run, sitting 9th of 410 players in the $1,500 Freezeout with 465,000 in chips. Let's go, Quirin!🔥
Overall, we've collected twenty-one cashes from eleven players across the schedule so far. Hannes Jeschka had multiple cashes, including a $16,100 run in the $10,000 Mystery Bounty. Felix Rabas banked $16,100 in that same Mystery Bounty, Caroline Schallock added $17,560 in the $550 Mini Mystery Millions, and Matthias Auer and Emilien Pitavy kept the volume coming across the mid-stakes events. That kind of consistency across buy-in levels is what a deep bench looks like.
None of this happens in isolation. Our players sharing hands in the Discord, reviewing spots together, and pushing each other are the ones turning up on WSOP pay sheets. The community is the edge - structured study, shared work, and a group of people who refuse to settle. That is what Team Pokercode is promoting, and exactly the way we're building up our community.
