The CoinPoker Winter Festival is actively progressing with its tournaments, high-stakes cash games, and original content. At the heart of the festival is the ongoing Winter Masters Series, which follows up on the excitement from the Holiday Turbo Mini Series and the Fresh Start Week. Notably, the high-stakes cash games at CoinPoker have generated a remarkable pot of $1,076,962. Additionally, CoinPoker ambassador Mario Mosböck released a new video on YouTube that showcases his participation in the Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro.

The Winter Festival is structured to focus on players, advancing through three stages that keep engagement high through the holiday season and into New Year’s. The Holiday Turbo Mini Series, held from December 26 to 30, offered rapid formats that were easy to fit into busy schedules, distributing $22,000 in tickets for the Winter Masters Series via Second Chance Flipouts.

Moving into the Fresh Start Week from December 31 to January 7, the emphasis was on an added value of $20,000 during New Year's Eve and Day. Both days were well-received, with New Year's Day exceeding expectations. Overall, Fresh Start Week distributed $50,000 in Winter Masters tickets through various events and Mega Satellites.

Now in its final phase, the Winter Masters Series runs from January 8 to 26, boasting a staggering $8 million in guaranteed prizes, marking the largest tournament series in CoinPoker's history.

This ongoing series is already benefiting from the momentum created in earlier phases. Additional tickets awarded through flipouts and value-added satellites have bolstered liquidity, often increasing guaranteed pots. Notably, player Yafish has emerged as the standout performer in these early stages, leading the Winter Festival rankings with three titles. He is also third in the Most Cashes category, having accumulated 41, and fourth in Most Money Won with a total of $21,031. Earlier this year, Yafish secured third place in the Medium Stakes Cash Games World Championship 2025.

Activity levels throughout the series have been impressive, with JamesPenguin leading the Most Events Played category at 126 entries. CoinMasters leader, GamblersFallacy, ranks ninth with 67 tournaments.

The biggest event so far has been the WMS-M #31, the $25 Mini CoinMasters FLOKI, which attracted a total of 519 entries. Here’s a quick overview of the Winter Masters features:

$8 Million in guaranteed prizes across various MTT structures.
Three Main Events with guarantees of $20,000, $75,000, and $250,000.
The enhanced CoinMasters BITCOIN tournaments featuring $150,000 scheduled every Sunday.
$100,000 in ranking prizes rewarding consistency through the Winter Masters Series.
$22,000 in cash prizes available via Second Chance Flipouts.

CoinPoker's new heads-up tables at $1,250/$2,500 made an immediate impact beginning January 9. Kayhan “KayhanMok” Mokri and cardsforfun engaged in an epic showdown that quickly escalated to several massive pots.

Cardsforfun struck first, securing a six-figure pot with A♦7♦ on a board showing A-9-9. High pressure continued as Mokri completed a straight, contributing to a substantial pot of $388,026 right from the bout's beginning.

After a brief three-day hiatus, they returned on January 12, escalating the stakes with a $500,000 buy-in for the continuation of their match. The pivotal moment arose shortly after, with Mokri breaking cardsforfun's pocket aces in the showstopper pot valued at an astonishing $1,076,962.

Following this key event, Mokri later sat down with $1,000,000 at the $2,500/$5,000 heads-up tables, emphasizing his dominant presence in high-stakes games. Coming off a recent victory of $7,725,000 at the Triton Invitational with a $250,000 buy-in, the ongoing high-stakes activity further cements CoinPoker’s reputation as a top destination for elite heads-up play.

CoinPoker ambassador, Mario Mosböck, has also published a new YouTube video from the inaugural Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro, which featured a buy-in of $25,000 and a prize for the winner of $860,000.

Besides the financial incentives, this tournament holds significant implications for the Triton Poker Player of the Year race. Mosböck started the tournament ranked second overall, closely trailing Artur Martirosian. With Player of the Year points awarded for each cash, every decision becomes critical.

The field showcased a mix of established players like Aleks Ponakovs and Mike Watson along with newcomers such as Albert Sulistio, necessitating constant strategic adjustments. Throughout the tournament, Mosböck navigated high-pressure situations against elite opponents, providing viewers with insights into the mental approach and discipline required at high-stakes levels.

The video breaks down key hands, strategic turning points, and discusses the psychological demands of competing within Triton.
