The second WSOP Circuit stop of 2026 at Grand Casino Liechtenstein wrapped up on Tuesday, September 22, with Switzerland’s Andreas Fröhli claiming the WSOP Circuit Liechtenstein CHF 1,500 Main Event title and the festival’s largest prize. Twelve rings were on offer across 13 days at the GC Pokerroom in Gamprin-Bendern, powered by GGPoker.
It was the second visit to Liechtenstein on the 2026 WSOPC calendar, following the February stop won by France’s Benjamin Hammann. Hammann returned to defend his title but did not repeat. Fröhli claimed his second ring of the calendar year. He had won his first at the WSOP Circuit Marrakech in January, making him one of the few players on the European circuit to collect two WSOPC rings in 2026.
Fröhli Wins the Main Event
The CHF 1,500 Main Event was Ring Event #7 and the centerpiece of the festival, drawing 587 entries for a CHF 760,752 prize pool. Eight players reached the final table on Tuesday, with Hungary’s David Kozma as chip leader and three other Swiss players alongside him. Defending champion Benjamin Hammann was also in contention. Kozma could not close. Fröhli, who entered Day 3 second in chips, beat Swiss countryman Riccardo Gubser in a heads-up and collected CHF 150,000. Hammann finished third for CHF 65,000. Ninety places were paid, with a min-cash of CHF 4,550.
The final table was streamed live from the GC Pokerroom with hole cards on a 60-minute delay, with English commentary from Christin Maschmann and Alex Todd.
Fröhli is a Swiss poker player, coach, and YouTube content creator now in his tenth year as a professional. He won his first WSOPC ring at the 2026 WSOP Circuit Marrakech in January, taking down the Opener Event from 892 entries for €46,500. He had also reached the heads-up of the 8-Game side event at this same Liechtenstein festival a few days earlier, losing to England’s John Kabbaj.
The Main Event title was the largest win of his career and made him one of the few players on the European circuit to collect two WSOPC rings in a single calendar year. Alexander Simon Huber, who won the High Roller for CHF 37,000 on Sunday, cashed the Main Event in 39th for CHF 4,000, the festival’s standout multi-event performer. 2019 WSOP Main Event champion Hossein Ensan finished 50th.
