Sergio Aido 🇪🇸

Aido was born in Aviles, Spain, and currently resides in London. He rose to fame in March 2013 with his outstanding performance in the PokerStars UKIPT London Main Event (£770 prize). Prior to that, he was known in the online poker world under the legendary pseudonym "petgaming," and was considered one of the most tenacious players in the industry. Over the past decade, Aido has transformed from a mid-stakes specialist in Europe into a podium finisher in the world's top tournaments. Known for his exceptional skill and composed personality, he is often compared to elite Spanish players like Adrian Mateos, together dominating the modern high-stakes poker era.

Edo is renowned for his rigorous, analytical, and technically proficient playing style. As a No-Limit Texas Hold'em master, his strategies are rooted in a deep understanding of Game Theory of Optimization (GTO) combined with exceptional observational skills to identify opportunities. He is highly regarded for his emotional stability and consistent technical precision, even amidst the high volatility of Super High Roller tournaments. Whether in major WSOP events or the low-stakes Triton Invitational, Edo maintains patience and strikes with mathematical precision, making him one of the toughest and most enduring opponents in modern poker.

According to Hendon Mob, Aido's total live tournament winnings exceed $25,752,000, firmly placing him among the top 50 on the all-time poker money list. His career-high live tournament winnings are $2,026,506, earned from his first gold bracelet at the 2024 WSOP $50,000 High Roller event. Aido is a two-time WSOP bracelet winner and recently claimed another title at a WSOP online high-stakes event at the end of 2024. He is also a European Poker Tour (EPT) champion, winning $1,779,893 at the 2019 EPT Monte Carlo €100,000 Super High Roller event. His continued success in the Triton Poker Series and PokerGO Circuit has resulted in an estimated poker net worth exceeding $25 million. Image source: Habwin
