Zdenek Zizka dominates WSOPC Rozvadov with three major poker titles in a row

The 2026 World Series of Poker Circuit (WSOPC) at King’s Resort in Rozvadov is in full swing. Eight of the 12 gold ring events have already crowned winners, with big payouts and standout performances shaping the series so far. Zdenek Zizka, once a little-known player, has now claimed three major titles in quick succession. His breakthrough came at the 2025 WSOP, where he won the $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em event for $232,498 and his first gold bracelet. Months later, he took down the $100,000 Super High Roller Main Event at the Brazilian Series of Poker (BSOP), banking $1,200,000 and securing millionaire status. At the current WSOPC stop, Zizka added another victory by winning the €600 No-Limit Hold’em Mystery Bounty, earning €32,500 and a gold WSOPC ring.

Other players have also made their mark in Rozvadov. Austria’s Boris Progner triumphed in the €777 NLHE Lucky 7’s event, pocketing €30,500. Germany’s Quirin Zech claimed his first WSOPC ring in the €2,000 Pot-Limit Omaha tournament, taking home €29,900. Meanwhile, Italy’s Andrea Iocco won the €330 Mini Main Event, securing €62,000 and his debut gold ring. The highlight of the series, the €1,500 Main Event with a €1 million guaranteed prize pool, begins on January 9 and runs until January 13.

The WSOPC King’s Resort has already awarded significant prizes, with Zizka’s three recent wins marking him as a rising star. The upcoming Main Event will decide the final champion of this stop, with the series wrapping up shortly after.
