Andrew Haygarth is a professional poker player from the United Kingdom who has been active in the tournament scene since the early 2010s. His early results include cashes in the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) and the Irish Open, where he demonstrated consistent profitability in medium-to-large field events.

Haygarth has recorded four World Series of Poker (WSOP) cashes, totaling $18,098 in earnings, though he has not yet won a bracelet. On the European circuit, he has cashed in several GUKPT Main Events:

• July 2021: 23rd place in a £1,100+150 No Limit Hold'em Main Event (£4,450)

Haygarth’s most notable performance came in the 2018 online poker LIVE MILLIONS UK £1,100 Open. Entering Day 2 among 312 returning players from 1,009 entries, he ended the day as the chip leader with 56,325,000 chips. A key hand saw him call a river raise from Daniel Rezaei with pocket jacks, winning a pot worth over 15 million to take the lead. On Day 3, however, his flush was beaten by Artur Gjoka’s full house, and he was eliminated in 21st place, earning £6,250. The tournament was won by Brandon Sheils.

Haygarth is described as a tight-aggressive player, selectively entering pots with strong hands and applying pressure post-flop. He is known for his disciplined approach and ability to navigate large fields, leveraging position and patience to build chips in the middle and late stages of tournaments.

With total recorded live tournament earnings exceeding $50,000, Haygarth remains a respected figure in the UK poker community. While he has yet to secure a major title, his consistent deep runs in prestigious events like the online poker Millions and GUKPT underline his skill and resilience at the felt.
