Juan Rodriguez is a Peruvian poker player, residing in the United States, who is best known for winning Event #39: $5,000 Seniors High Roller No-Limit Hold'em at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Until his bracelet victory, Rodriguez had $672,000 in live tournament winnings, but he doubled that sum by clinching the $673,011 top prize of the $5,000 Seniors High Roller event.
Throughout the long final day, Rodriguez drew motivation from his family. "I used to play more for fun, and I wanted to collect rings and wins, but now I'm playing for my beautiful son, Max, so that he can have a future. That was going through my mind all day," he said after the victory.
