Colombia has one player far out ahead and then a tightly packed chasing group. Farid Jattin has more than $10 million in recorded live earnings; the nine players behind him sit between $1.16 million and $2.63 million, close enough that a single deep run reorders the list. The figures below are read off The Hendon Mob's Colombia all-time money list and the individual player pages, checked on 22 October 2026.

Best-cash figures are shown only where we read them on the player's own profile page. A dash means we have the earnings total and the ranking but have not yet verified the breakdown, not that the player has no large result.
What the shape of the list tells you
Two things stand out. The first is how concentrated Colombian success is: Jattin alone accounts for roughly a third of the top ten's combined total, and he is the only Colombian past $10 million. He was born in Barranquilla and The Hendon Mob records his residence as Miami.
The second is how much of each career total comes from one result. Mauricio Salazar Sanches has $2,629,906 in career earnings and a best cash of $1,014,502 — a single score worth close to two-fifths of everything else he has recorded. Sebastian Camilo Toro Henao's $908,139 is a similar share of his $2,289,548. Live tournament records are built this way: long stretches of small cashes and the occasional run that changes the number entirely.
Andres Vasquez is the exception that proves it. He is eighth on the money list but third on Colombia's all-time cashes list with 154 recorded finishes, so his total is accumulated rather than won in one afternoon.
Where Colombians play
Medellín and Bogotá are where the country's live tournament poker is dealt, and the residences on these profiles reflect that — both Salazar Sanches and Toro Henao are listed in Medellín. The Casino Hollywood and Casino Rio rooms in both cities host the Winner Poker Series, Colombia's main domestic circuit; our [Colombian venues](/co/venues) and [tournament calendar](/co/tournaments) pages cover those.
Read these numbers properly
A money list is the extreme tail of a distribution. The Hendon Mob's Colombian list runs to 1,125 names, and the ten above are its very top — they are a record of unusual results, not a picture of what tournament poker returns. Poker is a game of skill played for entertainment; it is not an income and not a way to solve a money problem. Play only with money you can afford to lose, and if the game stops being entertainment, stop.
Attribution
All earnings, best cashes, nationalities, residences and rankings on this page and on the individual player pages come from The Hendon Mob, which is the public record for live tournament results. We checked the Colombia all-time money list and the top three players' profiles on 22 October 2026. Figures move whenever a listed player cashes, so treat them as correct as of that date.
