Daniel Holzner is an Italian poker player with $925,517 in recorded live tournament earnings.
His first tournament score came in 2012, and he has since added 13 more recorded cashes to his resume.
A majority of his scores have come in small-stakes events in Austria, with a couple coming from Czechia. At the 2023 World Series of Poker, he secured his first-ever WSOP cash in the Millionaire Maker. He came in 652nd for $4,070.
Also, at the 2023 WSOP, he made the final table of the Main Event. It was his first time playing poker's World Championship event, making his deep run a popular Cinderella story. Adding to that story is the fact that Holzner received entry into the Main Event after his family and friends pooled together the buy-in as a present for his 30th birthday.
At one stage, with 12 players left, he was down to his last three big blinds but was able to spin up his stack to make the final nine players. Ultimately, Holzner's Main Event run ended with a 9th place finish and a $900,000 payout.
