He has built a reputation as an aggressive player, particularly in Pot-Limit Omaha, and has consistently cashed in World Series of Poker (WSOP) events. His live tournament earnings exceed $625,000, with a best cash of $246,852.

Shirazi has multiple WSOP cashes across various buy-ins. In 2021, he finished 10th in WSOP Event #24: $600 Pot-Limit Omaha Deepstack, earning $8,546.

In a 2021 WSOP hand, he check-raised the flop in a heads-up pot, prompting his opponent to muck while commenting, "You keep flopping sets on me." This style has made him a formidable opponent in Pot-Limit Omaha events.
