Alexandre Lajoie

Alexandre Lajoie is a Canadian poker player from Quebec who has built a solid tournament resume primarily at Playground Poker in Montreal. While not a household name, he has consistently performed in large-field events, including deep runs in both WSOP Circuit and World Poker Tour competitions.

Lajoie has cashed twice in the WSOP Circuit series at Playground Poker. In August 2018, he finished 87th in the $1,100 Main Event, which drew 2,401 entries, earning C$5,000. The following year, in August 2019, he returned to the same event and placed 295th out of 2,142 players, taking home C$2,000.

Lajoie's most significant career performance came in October 2019 at the WPT500 Montreal, a CA$1,100 buy-in event with 2,135 entrants and a prize pool of CA$1,035,475. He navigated through the field to reach the final table bubble, ultimately finishing in 10th place for CA$11,500. The elimination hand saw Lajoie move all-in from the small blind with A♥10♥ against Bradley Smith's K♥K♠. The board ran out K♠9♥8♣9♠J♦, giving Smith kings full of nines and ending Lajoie's run. The final table was led by eventual champion Stephane Nadot, who won CA$143,300.

Based on limited available information, Lajoie appears to play an aggressive style when short-stacked, as evidenced by his three-bet shove with A♥10♥ from the small blind in the WPT500. His consistent cashes in large-field tournaments suggest a solid all-around game, though further details are not publicly documented.
