Biography

Chris Klodnicki is a New Jersey-born poker player with two WSOP gold bracelets and over $10 million in tournament cashes as of June 2023.

Klodnicki won his first bracelet in 2017 in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event and he picked up his second at the 2023 WSOP in Event #35: $10,000 Secret Bounty.

His second bracelet came after a return to the WSOP for the first time since 2019. He spoke of his layoff in his post-win interview:

��Really not traveling for poker but playing online. I��ve been playing a ton of online no-limit hold'em so, you know, I felt really good, and they have the bounty events online too so I felt really comfortable in this format and it was nice to get back to live poker. I��ve always felt comfortable in live poker. I��ve worked on my fundamentals a little bit more by playing online��

��I think gradually. I think I��ll play a little more next year," he said. "I don��t know if I��ll ever get back to playing full schedules, maybe when my kids are off in college but I��ll definitely be here more than the past few years, which was not at all.��

In addition to two titles, Klodnicki has a number of deep finishes at the WSOP. He has finished in second and third three times each, including a runner-up finish to Michael Mizrachi in the 2012 PPC. Klodnicki also ran to 12th in the 2008 Main Event.
