Jean Paul Berdejo

Originally from Peru, Berdejo lists his residence as Peru but competes extensively in Southeast Asia. His tournament resume shows a heavy focus on the Philippines, with regular appearances at the Asia Pacific Poker Tour (APPT), Manila Megastack, and Manila Super Series. This unique trajectory, a South American player grinding the Asian circuit, distinguishes him from many of his peers. His consistent participation in events ranging from the Okada Manila Millions to PokerStars Live festivals highlights his dedication to the game and willingness to travel for favorable tournament series.

Berdejo’s results demonstrate a clear specialization in turbo and bounty formats. His two titles in 2025 both came in accelerated structures: a Megastack Turbo and a KO Bounty Turbo. Additionally, he has recorded deep runs in Hyper Turbo events, such as his 9th place finish in the Superstack Hyper Turbo at the Manila Super Series 22. This pattern suggests a strategy built on high-variance aggression and superior push-fold ranges. He appears comfortable navigating shallow stack depths, utilizing ICM pressure to accumulate chips when blinds escalate quickly.
