Martin Finger

Martin Finger was born in Chemnitz, Germany (specifically Frankenberg) and currently resides in Vienna, Austria. His first recorded live poker cash came in 2010 when he finished third in a Heads Up event at EPT Barcelona, earning $5,467. This early success set the stage for a career that would see him become one of Germany's most accomplished tournament players.

Finger's breakthrough came in December 2011 when he won the EPT Prague €5,000 Main Event, taking home $964,023. The victory marked his first major title and established him as a force on the European circuit. He followed this up in October 2013 by winning the EPT London £50,000 Super High Roller for a career-best $1,331,171, defeating a field of elite high-stakes specialists. Two years later, in August 2015, he captured the EPT Barcelona €25,000 High Roller for $995,195, cementing his reputation in high-roller events. Additionally, he finished third in the EPT Monte Carlo €50,000 Super High Roller in May 2015 for $489,143.

At the 2013 World Series of Poker, Finger won his first and only WSOP bracelet in Event #21: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed, earning $506,764. This victory brought him close to achieving poker's Triple Crown (WSOP, EPT, and WPT titles). As of 2025, he has accumulated 94 WSOP cashes totaling over $1.70 million, including four final-table appearances. Notable recent results include a 6th-place finish in the 2024 WSOP $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty event for $57,594 and a 250th-place finish in the 2024 WSOP Main Event for $50,000. He also cashed in the 2025 WSOP Main Event, finishing 1219th for $17,500.

Beyond his EPT and WSOP successes, Finger has consistently performed in high-stakes tournaments worldwide. His total live tournament earnings exceed $8.48 million (per the Hendon Mob), ranking him among the top German players of all time. He has cashed in events such as the 2024 Australian Poker Open $3,300 Main Event (10th place for AU$23,800) and the 2022 Wynn Summer Classic $1,600 Mystery Bounty. Finger also participated in the 2020 GGPoker WSOP Online series, cashing in Event #73: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed.

Finger is known for his selective, disciplined approach at the tables. He excels in deep-stack structures and high-pressure situations, often controlling pot sizes and exploiting positional advantages. His low-key, focused demeanor has earned him the nickname "silent killer" among peers. While he rarely gives interviews or maintains a strong social media presence, his results speak to a methodical and patient style that avoids marginal spots and capitalizes on opponents' mistakes.

Finger continues to compete actively, with cashes recorded through 2025. In 2024, he cashed in multiple WSOP events, including the $800 No-Limit Hold'em Deepstack and the $1,500 Millionaire Maker. He also played in the 2024 PokerStars EPT Prague, cashing in the €3,000 Mystery Bounty and the €2,200 Eureka High Roller. In 2025, he added further WSOP cashes, demonstrating his enduring competitiveness. His GPI rank as of 2024 was 787.

Martin Finger is regarded as one of Germany's most successful poker players, with a career spanning over a decade. His combination of a WSOP bracelet and an EPT title places him in an elite group of players who have achieved major wins on both sides of the Atlantic. With over $8.4 million in live earnings and a reputation for solid, pressure-proof play, Finger's legacy is that of a consistent winner in the highest-stakes arenas.
