Will Tjokro
Indonesia
William Tjokro (also known as Will Tjokro) is an Indonesian actor, model, and poker player who gained notoriety for a tough debut on High Stakes Poker. Despite early struggles in high-stakes tournaments and cash games, he secured his first major live cash in 2026 by finishing third in a WPT Cambodia event.
Background and Early Career
William Tjokro (full name William Tjokroprawiro) is an Indonesian actor, model, and poker player from Jakarta. He is known for his role in the 2014 film The Sun, the Moon, & the Hurricane. Tjokro entered the poker scene in 2022 and quickly gravitated toward high-stakes events.
Poker Career: Triton Series and Early Struggles
Tjokro debuted in the Triton Poker Series on April 2, 2022, playing the $50k NLH 6-Handed event in Cyprus, where he failed to cash. Over the next few days he entered the $100k NLH 8-Handed, $50k NLH Turbo, and $75k Short Deck Ante-Only – all without a cash. In 2023 he continued on the Triton circuit, playing the $100k NLH Main Event in Vietnam (March 8) and the $25k Short Deck Ante-Only (March 10), but again did not reach the money.
High-Stakes Cash Games and [High Stakes](/term/high-stakes) Poker
Tjokro’s cash game results are tracked by Highroll Poker, showing a net loss of $462,000 across five sessions (7 hours played) with an average big blind of $4,000. He has a five‑session losing streak. His most notable cash game appearance came on Season 11 of High Stakes Poker (episode 7, aired October 2023). Playing with a $100,000 stack, he ran into repeated bad luck against Andrew Robl, losing two key pots: once when his pocket kings were rivered by a straight, and again when his pocket eights were rivered by a gut‑shot straight. The episode highlighted the difficulties a newcomer can face against seasoned high‑stakes pros.
Recent Results and First Major Cash
After several years without a recorded live tournament cash, Tjokro finally broke through in 2025–2026. In September 2025, he finished 90th in the Triton One Genesis ($3,000 buy‑in) for $6,700. Then, in February 2026, he placed 3rd in the WPT Cambodia Mini Championship ($1,100 buy‑in), earning $28,000 – his largest live score to date. His total live earnings in Asia‑Pacific are listed at $37,180, and his Somuchpoker Poker Index (SPI) rating for 2026 is 1,238 (ranked #2,495 globally).
Playing Style
Limited information exists on Tjokro’s specific playing style. In his High Stakes Poker appearance, he showed a willingness to call down with medium hands and pay off opponents, which may reflect an inexperienced approach in high‑pressure cash games. His tournament results suggest he can adapt to different formats, but his early missteps indicate a learning curve in high‑stakes environments.
