Morten Lokken

Morten Lokken (also referred to as Morten Klein in search records) is a Norwegian poker professional and entrepreneur from Oslo. He learned poker from his father, playing alongside his siblings, and has since taught his children the game—most notably his daughter Julie Klein, who also competes in tournaments. Before poker, Lokken worked as a bouncer and later appeared in reality TV, eventually transitioning to business as the CEO and founder of Klein Group, a company focusing on media, entertainment, e-commerce, and venture capital.

Lokken has amassed $1,101,988 in live tournament earnings, placing him 16th on Norway’s All Time Money List. His largest cash came in February 2010, when he finished 3rd in the PokerStars.com EPT Copenhagen Main Event for $255,510. Other notable results include 7th place in the €50,000 No-Limit Hold’em Eight Max at EPT Barcelona in 2014 ($235,845), and 2nd place in the 2012 WPT Denmark event ($144,413). He has also cashed in Triton Super High Roller Series events, such as 9th in the €20,000 Eight Max in Madrid ($52,920) and 13th in a $26,000 Pot-Limit Omaha event in London ($38,500).

WSOP and EPT Results

Lokken has multiple cashes in World Series of Poker (WSOP) events and European Poker Tour (EPT) Main Events. At the 2024 WSOP, he finished 13th in the $50,000 High Roller ($106,810) and 17th in the $25,000 High Roller ($62,737). In EPT Prague, he placed 47th in 2013 (€15,600) and 175th in 2018 (€8,710). He also cashed in the 2023 WSOP Seniors event ($1,601) and the 2022 EPT Barcelona Main Event (€20,480).

High Roller and Triton Series

Lokken has consistently participated in high-stakes tournaments. In 2024, he placed 5th in a Triton $30,000 Eight Max event for $309,000 and 8th in a $25,000 event for $110,500. These results demonstrate his ability to compete against elite fields.

Though not extensively documented, Lokken’s style aligns with the typical Norwegian approach: tight-aggressive, mathematically grounded, and disciplined. His success in both deep-stack Main Events and fast-paced high rollers suggests adaptability and strong post-flop skills.

Beyond poker, Lokken is a successful entrepreneur whose Klein Group invests in diverse industries. He remains active in the poker scene, balancing business with tournament pursuits. His daughter Julie’s rising career further solidifies his influence on the next generation of Norwegian poker.
