Originally from the Lake District, UK, I’ve spent the last few years living and breathing the Southeast Asian poker circuit. Since 2025, I’ve been a fixture on the floor at the APT, PokerStars, and WSOP events, serving as a lead reporter and media specialist for Somuchpoker. My work is about more than just recording action; I manage the social media and digital content that brings action rail to the fans. By combining a business education and creative background, I aim to look past the technical hand histories to capture the actual human grit and drama that happens during a deep run.

Kayhan Mokri Roshanfekr is a Norwegian professional poker player and the current all-time money leader in Norway. Recognized for his meteoric rise from underground clubs to the world’s most expensive high-roller tournaments, Mokri is a World Series of Poker bracelet winner and a dominant force on the Triton circuit, known for his relentless aggression and high tolerance for risk.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

With total live tournament earnings surpassing $21,312,000 (according to The Hendon Mob), Mokri sits at #1 on the Norway All-Time Money List, having overtaken Espen Jorstad in late 2025. His career-best live score of $7,725,000 came from his massive victory in the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise $250,000 Triton Invitational. This landmark win earned him his first WSOP bracelet and served as his third major title on the Triton Poker Series . His high-stakes dominance, coupled with a successful background in nosebleed cash games, contributes to an estimated poker net worth of over $12 million.

Biography & Poker Background

Born in 1994 and hailing from Oslo, Norway, Mokri’s journey began in 2015 playing in local underground clubs. While initially pursuing college studies, his success at the tables eventually led him to turn professional in 2017. He first established himself as a world-class cash game player, competing in the fabled Bobby’s Room (now the Legends Room) in Las Vegas, where he engaged in pots exceeding $500,000. Under the mentorship of Adrian Mateos, Mokri transitioned to the High Roller tournament scene in 2022 and quickly became a fixture at European Poker Tour (EPT) final tables. Today, he is considered one of the most motivated players in the game, treating high-stakes poker not as a job, but as a high-performance mindset game.

Play Style & Strategy

Mokri is renowned for a “hyper-aggressive and fearless” play style that puts opponents in constant discomfort. While he utilizes modern GTO (Game Theory Optimal) tools, his strategy is heavily informed by his high-stakes cash game roots, focusing on exploitative adjustments and “putting people out of their comfort zone.” He is particularly known for his high tolerance for risk and his refusal to give “respect” to even the world’s best players, often taking lines that challenge conventional solver wisdom. This aggressive approach makes him especially dangerous in the Mystery Bounty and Super High Roller formats, where he leverages his stack to apply maximum pressure during the bubble and final table phases of WSOP and Triton Poker Series events.
