Mihail Leiderman crushes EPT showdown with $1M+ full house triumph
A high-stakes poker hand at the 2026 European Poker Tour saw Mihail Leiderman secure a major pot with a dominant full house. The clash involved four players, including Eivind Vold and Perttu Kvist, before Leiderman's bold all-in move sealed the victory. This win adds to his recent success, including a $1.43 million payday at the 2024 WSOP Main Event.
The action began with Perttu Kvist raising to 1,600 from the hi-jack. Mihail Leiderman responded by betting 2,000 on the flop, which showed K♦8♦K♥. Both Eivind Vold and Kvist called, keeping three players in the hand.
On the turn (8♠), Leiderman moved all in for 6,400. Vold called, but Kvist folded his hand without showing. When the cards were revealed, Leiderman tabled K♣J♣ for a full house, kings over eights. Vold could only muster J♠8♥, good for a pair of eights.
Leiderman's victory follows his sixth-place finish in the 2024 WSOP Main Event, where he earned $1,430,000. That result pushed him to 22nd on poker's all-time money list, with live earnings exceeding $7.5 million as of February 2026.
The hand further cements Leiderman's reputation as a formidable tournament player. His aggressive play and strong reads continue to deliver results at the highest levels. With over $7.5 million in career earnings, he remains a consistent force in major poker events.
