Did Adrian Mateos Just Prove He’s the Best Player in Tournament Poker?

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Adrian Mateos
Adrian Mateos

When Adrian Mateos won 2026's WSOP $250k Super High Roller, he became the youngest player in history to reach six WSOP bracelets at just 31 years old.

His $4.33 million score was the second-largest cash of the Spaniard's career. The first? It came less than a month ago at Triton Montenegro, where he banked $6.37 million in the $200k Invitational, meaning Mateos has won a scarcely believable $10.7 million in just 28 days.

With Mateos climbing from ninth to fifth on poker's all-time money list in the last six months alone, and after defeating one of the most stacked final tables in WSOP history (featuring Phil Ivey, Bryn Kenney, Jason Koon et al), it sparked a debate around the PokerNews water cooler: Are we watching the best player in tournament poker right now?
