Martin Jacobson

Stockholm, Sweden, Sweden

$18,490,450Live earnings
$10,000,000Best cash
#89All-time money list
#1Sweden ranking

Sweden's most successful tournament player by a wide margin, and the country's only World Series of Poker Main Event champion. Jacobson won the 2014 Main Event for $10,000,000 — still his best result and still one of the largest single prizes in poker history — having come to the final table as the shortest stack of the nine.

His career total of $18.49m puts him 89th on the all-time money list, with a best-ever rank of 9th. He was born in Stockholm and now lives in London, which is where most of his live schedule is based.

He has not slowed down: in June 2026 he finished second in the $3,000 six-handed bracelet event at the WSOP for $327,370, and cashed twice more in Las Vegas that summer. Before the Main Event he was already one of Europe's most consistent high-stakes tournament regulars, with deep runs across the EPT and WSOP Europe.

Hendon Mob profile

Play online from Sweden

Players like Martin started somewhere. These are the partner rooms that accept players from Sweden.

None of our partner operators currently accepts players from Sweden. We do not list any online poker room here. Sweden licenses online poker under the Gambling Act (Spellagen, SFS 2018:1138), in force since 1 January 2019 and supervised by Spelinspektionen. A Swedish licence is required to offer online poker to residents, and unlicensed operators face penalties. Winnings from a Spelinspektionen-licensed operator are not taxable income; winnings from an unlicensed operator are treated as foreign-source income and taxed. The minimum age is 18. GGPoker names Sweden as a Restricted Jurisdiction in its own terms, so we list no partner room here. Sweden has had no land-based casino since Casino Cosmopol Stockholm closed on 24 April 2025; parliament voted in April 2025 to abolish land-based casinos from 1 January 2026. This is general information, not legal advice.
