Stephen Chidwick 🇬🇧

Originally from Deal, Kent, Stephen Chidwick started playing poker in 2005 at the age of 16. He built a reputation in online games under the moniker “stevie444” before transitioning to the global stage in 2008 with a victory at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure. Establishing himself as a regular at major festivals like the WSOP , EPT , and Triton , Chidwick was famously known as the “best player without a bracelet” until his $1.6 million victory in the 2019 $25,000 PLO High Roller.

Known for a highly calculated, GTO-based play style, Chidwick excels in both No Limit Hold’em and Mixed Games. His ability to maintain a stoic, unreadable table presence – often referred to as having the “scariest stare in poker” – makes him a formidable opponent. Chidwick balances rigorous theoretical study with deep intuition, prioritizing maximum concentration and physical preparation through meditation and exercise before play.

Total Live Earnings: $76,035,910. (according to The Hendon Mob) All-Time Money List: Ranked 2nd globally as of early 2026. Estimated Net Worth: Approximately $40 million – $50 million, though Chidwick has noted that high-stakes players frequently swap action. Biggest Live Cash: $5,368,947 for a 4th-place finish at the 2019 Triton Million for Charity in London. Major Accolades: 1 WSOP Bracelet (2019), former Global Poker Index (GPI) #1, and multiple Triton Poker titles.
