Brandon Wilson: From Chicago to the Super High Roller Bowl
Brandon Wilson is an American professional poker player associated with Chicago, Illinois, whose rapid rise has made him a regular contender in international high roller events. His record includes major results at Triton Jeju, titles on the PokerGO Tour and victory in the 2026 Super High Roller Bowl XI.
The Hendon Mob snapshot checked for this profile records 17.974.597 $ in live tournament earnings and a best cash of 2.241.000 $. It places Wilson 93rd worldwide, 42nd among United States players and first on the Illinois all-time money list. Chicago is his listed residence.
Birth Year and Chicago Background
Wilson’s exact date of birth is not securely documented in the public sources checked for this profile. Card Player described him as 33 in October 2026, placing his birth approximately in 1992 or 1993. That range is an inference from a reported age, rather than a confirmed birth year.
His connection with Chicago is consistently recorded in player databases and contemporary reporting. His later results have taken him far beyond the American circuit, particularly to the Bahamas, France and South Korea.
The Move into High Roller Competition
Wilson’s major results are concentrated in the mid-2020s, when he began appearing repeatedly in expensive no-limit hold’em tournaments. His rise is better understood through that sequence of results than through an unsupported account of his private bankroll or financial background.
The transition brought him into fields populated by established professionals. Frequent participation alone does not establish success, but Wilson’s subsequent titles and large final-table finishes provide clear evidence of his competitive progress.
2024: Substantial Wins at Seminole
Wilson recorded two major 25.000 $ high roller victories at Seminole in 2024, with payouts of 602.900 $ and 601.800 $. Both remain significant results in his career record.
These wins preceded the seven-figure Triton cashes that later expanded his international profile. They also show that his emergence was supported by outright victories before he reached the largest payouts of his career.
January 2025: Back-to-Back PGT Last Chance Titles
Wilson won consecutive events at PGT Last Chance in January 2025. His two victories earned a combined 582.500 $, including 285.000 $ for winning Event #4.
In the second victory, he defeated Jeremy Ausmus heads-up after calling a large river bluff with pocket tens. The pair of titles also earned him a Dream Seat into the PGT Championship, adding practical season-ending value to the tournament payouts.
2025: A Seven-Figure Result at Triton Jeju
Wilson finished second in a 50.000 $ seven-handed no-limit hold’em event at Triton Jeju in September 2025 for 1.150.000 $. The result supplied one of the largest cashes of his career and strengthened his presence on the international super high roller circuit.
Jeju would become especially important in his record. His later results there included another substantial runner-up finish and the largest recorded payout of his career, both during the March 2026 series.
Winning the 2025 Poker Masters Finale
Wilson won Event #10, the 25.200 $ finale of the 2025 Poker Masters, receiving 464.000 $ after a heads-up deal with David Coleman. The victory was his fourth career PGT title.
The event win should be distinguished from the overall Poker Masters championship. Coleman secured the series title and Purple Jacket, while Wilson won the concluding tournament. Keeping those achievements separate preserves the meaning of both results.
A Further Million-Dollar Cash at WSOP Paradise
At WSOP Paradise in December 2025, Wilson finished fourth in the 125.000 $ Triton no-limit hold’em event for 1.132.000 $. The result added a second seven-figure cash to his record.
His largest results were increasingly spread across different international stops. The Bahamas finish complemented the Jeju runner-up result and the titles earned in American high roller events.
January 2026: Another Last Chance Victory
Wilson returned to PGT Last Chance and won Event #3, a 10.100 $ no-limit hold’em tournament, for 275.400 $. He defeated Sergio Aido heads-up in a field of 108 entries.
The event took place in January 2026 while concluding qualification for the preceding PGT season. The calendar date and season designation are therefore different. The result continued his strong association with the Last Chance series.
Two Titles at EPT Paris in 2026
Wilson won a 25.000 € event at EPT Paris in February 2026 for 199.840 €. He followed it with victory in the 10.300 € EPT High Roller, collecting 668.700 €.
The High Roller attracted 352 entries, and Wilson defeated Klemens Roiter heads-up. The double victory gave him a major European chapter and demonstrated success across both a smaller expensive event and a larger high roller field. Neither title was the EPT Main Event championship.
A Career-Best Cash in the Triton Anniversary Special
In March 2026, Wilson finished second in the 150.000 $ Triton Jeju 10th Anniversary Special for 2.241.000 $. That payout became his largest recorded live tournament cash.
He also finished second in the series’ 50.000 $ seven-handed event for 948.000 $. Together, those two results made the Jeju stop one of the most important periods of his career and substantially increased his accumulated live tournament earnings.
October 2026: Winning Super High Roller Bowl XI
Wilson won Super High Roller Bowl XI at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, defeating Nick Petrangelo heads-up. The 100.000 $ event attracted 28 entries and awarded an official first prize of 1.125.000 $. Alex Foxen finished third, Jeremy Ausmus fourth and Adrian Mateos fifth.
PGT’s official report identified the victory as Wilson’s sixth PGT title. It followed key double-ups during the tournament and ended when he called Petrangelo’s river bluff with a straight. Some later reporting described a heads-up deal; the figure used here is the official published payout, which may differ from private settlement amounts.
