Croatian poker players: the all-time live money list
Croatia has 1,012 players with recorded live tournament results. These are the profiles at the top of the country's all-time money list, with career earnings as recorded by The Hendon Mob on 4 October 2026. The figures are cumulative career totals in US dollars, not annual earnings, and they cover live tournaments only.

One result shapes the whole list
Matija Dobric leads Croatia with just under $2.59 million, and $2,250,000 of that came from a single tournament: fifth place in the 2022 World Series of Poker Main Event. That one cash is larger than the entire recorded career of any other Croatian player. It is worth knowing before reading the rest of the list, because it means the gap between first and second place says more about one deep run in Las Vegas than about a difference in standing on the regional circuit.
Ivan Zufic is second with a little over $1.21 million, his best result a $345,000 runner-up finish in a $25,000 event at the 2021 PokerGO Tour U.S. Poker Open. Boris Kuzmanovic is the third Croatian past the million mark at just over $1.12 million.
Depth in volume, not in big scores
Below the top three the list falls away quickly — fourth is under $800,000, tenth is around $261,000 — and the character of Croatian tournament poker shows through in the cash counts rather than the totals. Mladen Stojanovic has 105 recorded cashes, more than any other player registered to Croatia, for roughly $373,000. Andro Scarpa has 73 cashes for about $557,000. Boris Kuzmanovic, Ivan Curic and Ivan Karlo Banic all sit in the fifties. Those are the records of players working mid-stakes fields across Croatia and the surrounding region over many years.
How these figures are kept
Every total on this page comes from The Hendon Mob's Croatian all-time money list and the individual player profiles behind it, read on 4 October 2026. Earnings are credited to the country a player is registered under, so a player with Croatian nationality living elsewhere still appears here. Results are re-checked periodically; where a player's profile shows both a current and a best all-time rank, we record both, because the gap between them tends to reflect how much the global field has grown rather than any change in the player's own results.
