Flashback: Daniel Pidun Wins 2025 WSOP Europe Main Event Title
The World Series of Poker Europe first came to Rozvadov in 2017, bringing the poker world together in this small town along the Czech-German border as King’s Resort became one of the premier destinations in Europe. The last eight years have brought many memorable champions and moments, so it was only fitting, in the last WSOP Europe to be played here, that Daniel Pidun turned off the lights in style: with two aces.
Pidun was on the right side of a massive preflop cooler, his aces taking out Gerald Karlic’s jacks, as the German emerged victorious over the 659-entry field to win the 2025 WSOP Europe Main Event, his first WSOP gold bracelet, and €1,140,000 top prize.
“Great. Of course, it makes me feel great. Very good feeling,” Pidun said. “I had a feeling I was going to win it. I just had a feeling. I don’t know why.”
