His precise play under pressure earned him a $407,000 profit for the session alone.

Mokri’s victory follows a record-breaking 2025 live tournament run. He amassed $13,255,542 in winnings, placing second in the global rankings. Major scores included a $3,835,059 payday in a $150K Triton event in Jeju and a $7,725,000 win for a WSOP bracelet in the $250K Triton Invitational.
