Teun Mulder

Teun Mulder began his poker journey online, competing under the screen name "tinnoemulder" on PokerStars. His first recorded online cash dates back to 2013, but it was in 2020 that he truly burst onto the scene. He won a $10,300 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) event for $113,785, a $5,200 Blowout Series title for $211,740, and finished third in the $5,200 World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) for a career-best $762,169. The following year, he added a second SCOOP title by taking down the $5,200 High Roller for $247,089. Mulder has amassed over $6 million in online tournament winnings, the bulk of which came from PokerStars.

Mulder's first recorded live cash came in August 2017 when he finished fourth in the €1,650 WSOPC Rotterdam Main Event for €31,214. Although he plays relatively few live events, his results have been remarkable. In 2020, he finished second in the online edition of the $10,300 WPT World Championship Main Event on PartyPoker for $1,231,600, which was then his largest score. However, that record was soon broken.

In 2022, Mulder won a €25,000 High Roller at EPT Prague for €250,928 and followed it with a seventh-place finish in the €5,300 EPT Prague Main Event for €138,750. Less than a month later, he captured his biggest live title by winning a $100,000 buy-in event at the Triton Poker Cyprus festival for a massive $1,940,000. This victory cemented his status among the poker elite.

Mulder continued his success in 2023 with multiple deep runs on the European Poker Tour. He won the €25,000 No-Limit Hold'em I event at EPT Paris for €389,870, and at EPT Prague he won another €25,000 event for €180,150, finished third in the €50,000 Super High Roller for €200,800, and placed third in another €25,000 event for €105,300. He also made a strong showing at EPT Cyprus, finishing second in a $25,000 event for $283,300 and third in the $50,000 Super High Roller for $345,900.

Mulder has become a regular in the world's most prestigious high-roller tournaments. At the 2022 Triton Poker Cyprus series, he won the $100,000 NLH 8-Handed event for $1,940,000. He continued to perform well in Triton events, including a 42nd-place finish in the $100,000 Main Event at Triton Jeju in 2025 for $163,000, and a 15th-place finish in the $25,000 WPT Global Slam for $112,500. His consistent results against the toughest fields have earned him respect as one of the best high-stakes players in the world.

In 2024, Mulder won the €10,200 No-Limit Hold'em event at EPT Prague for €56,710 and finished second in a $25,000 Second Chance event at EPT Cyprus for $258,100. He also cashed in the EPT Barcelona Main Event and participated in the Mediterranean Poker Party. The 2025 season saw him cash in multiple Triton Jeju events and in the WSOP Paradise $25,000 Super Main Event for $80,000. In 2026, Mulder has already achieved a runner-up finish in the $100,000 High Roller at the World Series of Poker for $1,894,282, along with cashes in other WSOP high-roller events and online tournaments. His total live tournament earnings exceed $11 million making him the all-time leader among Dutch players.

Mulder is the archetype of the modern high-stakes professional: highly analytical, emotionally disciplined, and aggressively adaptive. His style balances rigorous game theory optimal (GTO) play with sharp exploitative adjustments, allowing him to navigate complex, deep-stack environments typical of super-high-roller tournaments. He is particularly respected for his ability to maintain peak performance during long, high-variance runs, often exerting immense pressure on opponents to secure deep final-table finishes. Off the table, he is described as low-key and reserved, contrasting with his fierce table persona.

Teun Mulder stands as the most successful Dutch tournament player in history, leading the Netherlands all-time money list. His combination of online prowess and live tournament success has made him a global star. With multiple seven-figure scores and victories across PokerStars, the European Poker Tour, and the Triton Series, Mulder's future in the poker world remains exceptionally bright.
