Early Life and Career Beginnings
Alexandre Reard was born in Avignon, France, and discovered poker in the 2000s. Before turning professional, he worked in real estate. His passion for the game quickly propelled him into the French poker circuit, and he soon began making a name for himself internationally. Reard joined the Unibet Poker team in 2017 and has since become one of France's most recognizable players. He currently resides in Cardiff, Wales, with his wife and fellow poker professional, Aurélie Reard.
WSOP Bracelets and Circuit Rings
Reard's first World Series of Poker bracelet came in 2021 when he won Event #47: $5,000 Freezeout No-Limit Hold'em, defeating Daniel Strelitz heads-up for $428,694. "When I saw the river card, it was just an indescribable feeling," Reard said after the victory. "I was seeing my wife and all my friends crying and exulting on the rail. It's such a sincere and strong moment!"
He captured his second bracelet in 2023 at Event #90: $10,000 6-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship, outlasting Stephen Chidwick heads-up to take home $1,057,663 — his largest single cash at the time. The following year, he narrowly missed a third bracelet, finishing runner-up in the same $10,000 6-Handed event against Michael Rocco for $610,013.
Beyond bracelets, Reard has accumulated five WSOP Circuit rings, with his most recent coming in April 2025 at the WSOP-C Aix-en-Provence, where he won the €2,000 High Roller for €65,000. Earlier rings include victories in Rotterdam (2019) and other international stops.
