Fabian Gumz

Fabian Gumz is a German professional poker player who is also listed under Austria in several WSOP.com database profiles. He has built a reputation as a versatile, high-volume tournament grinder with a strong presence in both online high-stakes games and live major series. With more than $3.7 million in recorded tournament earnings and 189 career cashes, Gumz has become one of the notable German poker figures of the modern era.

Gumz first appeared in recorded poker results around 2017 and gradually developed a consistent cashes record across live and online events. He is active in WSOP Online and GGPoker-scheduled tournaments, such as the $300 Gladiators of Poker, where he finished 666th for $812 in August 2025, and the $800 6-Max NLH Championship, among many other online cashes. His online volume gave him the bankroll and experience to make the jump to high rollers, and he eventually became a regular on live tours including the World Poker Tour, European Poker Tour, Triton Poker, and the Asian Poker Tour.

Gumz has been a consistent performer at the World Series of Poker, cashing in every WSOP season from 2017 through 2026. He has over 100 WSOP cashes and more than $1 million in WSOP earnings. His deepest WSOP run came in 2019, when he finished eighth in the $1,500 Millionaire Maker for $157,565. In 2025, he reached ninth place in the $25,000 6-Handed High Roller for $142,581, and in 2026 he placed 17th in the $50,000 High Roller 8-Handed for $105,000 and 20th in the GGMillion$ High Roller for $41,942. He also cashed in the $10,000 6-Handed Championship in 2026 for $20,144 and the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty in 2025 for $16,654. His WSOP record includes several deep finishes in the Monster Stack, Millionaire Maker, and Pot-Limit Omaha events, showing flexibility across formats.

Gumz's most celebrated victory came in April 2024 when he won the WPT Prime Slovakia at Card Casino Šamorín. He outlasted a field of 732 entries in the €1,100 no-limit hold'em event and collected €117,280. Before that, his biggest cash was a runner-up finish in the 2019–2020 WPT Rock 'n' Roll Poker Open, where he earned $353,380. He also took third place in the 2021 DeepStack Championship II $2,500 event for $210,722. In December 2024, Gumz finished 12th in the WPT World Championship for $255,000, one of the largest main-event fields of that series. On the international high-roller circuit, he placed 20th in the 2025 Triton Poker Jeju $100,000 Main Event for $246,000.

Gumz has continued to expand his travel schedule. At the 2025 Triton Jeju stop, he cashed three times: 29th in the $30,000 8-Handed event for $48,500, 27th in the $20,000 Mystery Bounty for $32,000, and 20th in the $100,000 Main Event for $246,000. He also cashed at the Asian Poker Tour, finishing 22nd in the APT Main Event in Jeju for ₩20,760,000 and 84th in the APT Championship Main Event Freezeout for NT$572,500. In 2026, he placed 11th in the €3,150 Hyper Turbo Bounty Freezeout at EPT Monte Carlo for $4,142 and cashed at the Wynn Summer Classic. His 2026 WSOP Europe schedule included a 71st-place finish in the €2,750 Rounder Cup for €5,400.

Gumz is regarded as an aggressive, positional player who performs well in deep-stacked tournament structures and uses pressure to exploit opponents. He is also a high-volume online multi-tabler with strong hand selection, which gives him an edge across different game variants and buy-in levels. Although he keeps a low public profile, his peers recognize him as one of the sharper online-era grinders from Germany. His ability to shift between massive online fields, mid-stakes live events, and high-roller tables has defined his career. As of 2026, his recorded tournament earnings stand at $3,716,770 with five tournament wins and 189 total cashes, and his 2026 Player of the Year ranking is 481. His World Poker Tour-specific earnings stand at $650,971 from four cashes, and his European Poker Tour earnings at $33,100 from three cashes.
