Robert Heidorn

Robert Heidorn was born in Berlin, Germany, in 1988. He began his poker career online and recorded his first live tournament cash in April 2011 at the European Poker Tour (EPT) in Berlin. Over the next few years, he steadily built experience, cashing in two No Limit Hold'em events at the World Series of Poker Europe in October 2015 at the Spielbank Berlin. In July 2016, he achieved his first WSOP Main Event cash, placing 145th for approximately $50,000 at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Heidorn's breakthrough came in late 2018. In November, he won the High Roller at the PokerStars Megastack in London, earning nearly £60,000 and a $30,000 "Platinum Pass" to the PokerStars Players Championship (PSPC). The following month, he won a side event at EPT Prague, taking home more than €85,000.

In January 2019, Heidorn cashed in the PSPC on the Bahamas for $25,450. His most notable result came in July 2019 when he finished 10th in the WSOP Main Event — a $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em tournament — earning $800,000. He continued his strong form with a runner-up finish in the MILLIONS North Cyprus $5,300 No-Limit Hold'em event in 2021 for $494,810.

Heidorn's largest cash to date occurred in May 2023 at the Triton Super High Roller Series Cyprus: he placed 2nd in the $40,000 Eight Max event for $1,057,976. More recently, in July 2025, he finished 4th in the July High Stakes Week €10,000 Invitational for $110,565. His latest recorded cash came on April 7, 2026, earning $4,859.

Heidorn has amassed 38 WSOP cashes totaling over $1.23 million, including two final tables. Apart from his deep Main Event run in 2019, his best WSOP result came in 2024 when he placed 8th in the $10,000 Mystery Bounty event for $103,942. He has also cashed in WSOP Europe and WSOP Online events, demonstrating versatility across formats and locations.

Beyond the WSOP, Heidorn has excelled in high-stakes tournaments. His runner-up finish in the Triton Cyprus $40,000 High Roller put him on the map among the world's elite. He also won a side event at EPT Prague (€85,000+) and the PokerStars Megastack High Roller (£60,000). These successes highlight his ability to compete and cash in events with strong fields and high buy-ins.

Heidorn is known for a tight-aggressive playing style grounded in mathematics and probability. He excels in deep-stacked tournaments, using precise bet sizing and positional awareness to apply pressure on opponents. His calm demeanor and disciplined approach to bankroll management have allowed him to navigate large fields and reach final tables consistently. While he has not yet won a WSOP bracelet, his consistent high finishes and multiple six-figure scores underscore his skill.

Born and raised in Berlin, Heidorn maintains a low profile despite his success. He transitioned from online play to live tournaments and has built a reputation as one of Germany's top tournament grinders. As of 2026, his lifetime live earnings exceed $5 million from 134 cashes. He continues to play in major events worldwide, and his deep runs in both the WSOP Main Event and Triton high rollers have cemented his status as a formidable competitor on the global poker stage.

Robert Heidorn is listed in the Hendon Mob Poker Database with 134 recorded live cashes as of 2026. His Global Poker Index (GPI) has tracked his performance, placing him among the top German tournament players. The German Wikipedia entry notes his birth year and city, and provides a comprehensive overview of his career.

Heidorn's live tournament earnings have grown steadily. By September 2024, his total was $4,690,287 from 122 cashes; by December 2024, it rose to $4,802,963 from 127 cashes; and as of April 2026, it reached $5,058,212 from 134 cashes. This reflects consistent success in high-stakes events.
