Biography

Henrik Juncker is a Danish professional poker player specializing in multi-table tournaments.

Juncker first became known in February 2010, when he finished 20th in the PokerStars EPT Copenhagen Main Event. A runner-up finish in a €330 buy-in event at the Irish Open during the same year was the last in-the-money finish Juncker enjoyed for four years.

In February 2015, Juncker was the runner-up in the DKr 8,250 Unibet Open Copenhagen Main Event, a result that earned the Dane DKr 425,000 ($64,632). That would remain Juncker's biggest live tournament haul until he took down the €1,100 Unibet Open Malta Main Event in September 2022 and reeled in a €75,000 score.

Juncker put in more volume throughout 2023, cashing in ten events across five countries, including a fourth-place finish in the €2,200 Estrellas Poker Tour High Roller in Sevilla for €13,700.

The Dane flew out to EPT Paris in February 2024 not intending to play in the €2,200 FPS High Roller, but ultimately registered and found his way through to the final table. Eventually, Juncker only had PokerStars ambassador Parker Talbot to beat, and defeat him he did, sending Parker home in second place, locking up a career-best €554,790 in the process.
