Matthias Eibinger is an Austrian professional poker player and a high-stakes phenomenon who sits firmly at the top of Austria’s All-Time Money List. A co-founder of the coaching platform Pokercode alongside Fedor Holz, Eibinger is widely considered one of the most theoretically advanced players in the world, dominating the Triton Poker Series and recently securing his first WSOP bracelet in 2025.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings surpassing $28,116,000 (according to The Hendon Mob), Eibinger ranks 1st on the Austria All-Time Money List and 41st globally. His career-best live score of $3,461,261 came from a massive victory at the 2023 Triton Poker Series Monte Carlo Main Event. In late 2025, Eibinger reached a major milestone by winning his first WSOP bracelet at WSOP Paradise , taking down the $75,000 Triton PLO 6-Handed event for $1,570,640. He has also carried his momentum into 2026, winning the $50,000 Onyx High Roller Grand Slam in February for $1,250,000. His consistent presence in the world’s most expensive tournaments contributes to an estimated poker net worth of over $30 million.
Biography & Poker Background
Born in Graz, Austria, Eibinger’s journey began with a obsession for hyper-turbo Sit & Gos online under the alias “iambest.” Known for his extreme dedication, he once famously employed “polyphasic sleep” to grind up to 20 hours a day to reach the highest VIP tiers on PokerStars. After the online landscape shifted, he took a six-month hiatus in 2017 to study MTT (Multi-Table Tournament) theory “from dawn until dusk” before transitioning to the live high-roller circuit. This academic approach paid off immediately, as he quickly became a staple in the toughest fields in the world. Beyond the felt, he is a leading educator in the community, using his logical and mathematical background to mentor the next generation of pros through Pokercode.
Play Style & Strategy
Eibinger is renowned for a “purely GTO, clinical, and high-volume” play style. His strategy is built on a foundation of rigorous mathematical study and logical deduction, traits he believes are essential to competing with the modern “solver” generation. While he is a master of No-Limit Hold’em, his 2025 WSOP victory in Pot-Limit Omaha—a format he was previously a “rookie” in—demonstrated his incredible ability to learn and master new variants at an elite level. He is noted for his “three-bullet” mental resilience, often firing multiple entries into events and maintaining total objectivity regardless of early setbacks. His calm demeanor and focus on long-term EV (Expected Value) make him one of the most respected and difficult opponents to exploit on the circuit.
