Kristof Segers

Originally from Belgium and now residing in Taichung, Taiwan, Kristof Segers has spent over a decade refining his craft. He moved to Asia to capitalize on the region’s booming poker market, quickly establishing himself as a “local” powerhouse in Taipei’s competitive scene. Segers is a familiar face at the CTP Asia Poker Arena , where he is respected not only for his results but for his longevity. He represents the elite tier of expatriate professionals who have successfully integrated into the Asian poker community, frequently traveling for major Asian Poker Tour (APT) and WPT Prime festivals.

Segers is known for a highly disciplined and technical tournament strategy, often described as a “short-stack ninja” due to his precision in late-stage tournament play. He excels in No Limit Hold’em and has shown significant proficiency in Mixed Games and Pot Limit Omaha. His approach is heavily data-driven, combining a strong understanding of modern GTO (Game Theory Optimal) principles with sharp exploitative adjustments against the unique fields found in Asian festivals. His ability to consistently navigate large High Roller fields, evidenced by his multiple TMT podium finishes, highlights his exceptional mental stamina and ICM awareness.

With over half a million in total live earnings, Kristof Segers currently ranks 25th on the Belgium All Time Money List according to the Hendon Mob. A mainstay of the Asian high-stakes scene, Segers reached a new career milestone in early 2026 with back-to-back deep runs at the 19th Taiwan Millions Tournament (TMT 19) . He secured a runner-up finish in the TMT 15 High Roller for TWD 584,100 (~USD 18,485) and another 2nd-place finish in the TMT 12 High Roller for TWD 400,000 (~USD 12,660). His career-best live cash of USD 38,143 was recorded in 2023, and he has since solidified his status with numerous titles, including a victory in the TMT Championship II High Roller (October 2025) for TWD 1,022,000 (~USD 31,830) and The Hendon Mob Championship (THMC). Beyond live events, Segers is a formidable online competitor, notably finishing 2nd in the 2024 GGPoker WSOP Online “Beat the Pros” Bounty for USD 65,213. Kristof Segers TMT 19
