András Koroknai (born 1981 or 1982 in Debrecen)[1] is a professional Hungarian poker player.

Koroknai studied at the University of Debrecen.[1]
Poker career
Koroknai played online from August 2006 to January 2013 under the nicknames Frccsï… (PokerStars), kori23 (Full Tilt Poker), and kori25 (partypoker) with tournament winnings of nearly $65,000.[2] Since 2008, he has also participated in renowned live tournaments.[3]
In early March 2010, Koroknai won the World Poker Tour ‘s L.A. Poker Classic in Los Angeles with a win purse of nearly $1.8 million.[4] In June 2010, he was successful for the first time at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, finishing in the money in a tournament of the No Limit Hold’em variety.[5] He finished 339th in the Main Event that year for around $35,000 in prize money.[6] In early December 2010, Koroknai won the Poker Open in Budapest, earning the equivalent of more than $100,000.[7] At the 2012 WSOP, he played the Main Event again and became the first and so far only Hungarian with the second-largest chip stack to reach the final table, which was played at the end of October 2012.[8] There, the only non-American finished in sixth place for more than $1.6 million in prize money.[9] Before reaching the final table, Koroknai had already caused a stir twice after folding and turning his cards face up too early in hands against Gaëlle Baumann and Fabrizio González.[8]
In total, Koroknai has earned over $3.5 million playing poker in live tournaments[3] making him the third most successful Hungarian poker player after Márton Czuczor and Norbert Szécsi.[10]
