Alec Jahed

Alec Jahed is an American poker player who has carved out a steady presence in WSOP Circuit events. According to his WSOP.com profile, he has won one WSOP Circuit ring, made five WSOP cashes, and earned $27,043 in WSOP lifetime earnings. His notable results include a 37th-place finish in the 2026 WSOP Circuit Thunder Valley Main Event ($1,700 buy-in, 764 entries) for $5,070, and an 11th-place finish in the WSOPC Horseshoe Baltimore Event #11: $400 PLO/NLH Mixed (146 entries) for $926.

During the 2026 WSOP Circuit Thunder Valley Main Event, Jahed built one of the largest stacks on Day 2, sitting in the top five alongside eventual champion Jaime Haletky. In a critical pot, Haletky bet 16 big blinds on a queen-high turn board, and Jahed jammed 56 big blinds over the top with pocket nines. Haletky called with pocket aces, and Jahed was eliminated, finishing 37th. The hand was widely reported as a bold move that backfired, but it demonstrated Jahed's willingness to apply pressure in deep-stacked situations.

Jahed is primarily an online and tour grinder who focuses on events like the WSOP Circuit. His results show proficiency in mixed games such as PLO/NLH, and he is known for his aggressive, high-variance style when short-handed. While he keeps a low profile in the poker community, his deep run at Thunder Valley and his ring win mark him as a capable competitor on the circuit.
