Erragh Yassir

Erragh Yassir began appearing in French live poker tournaments in the early 2010s. Early results include a 43rd-place finish in the Deepstack Open Gruissan Main Event in October 2013 (527 entrants, €1,300) and a 33rd-place in the Barrière Poker Tour Deepstack Bordeaux Main Event in March 2014 (346 entrants, €1,425).

Yassir’s biggest career victory came in August 2013 at the Deepstack Open Gujan-Mestras Main Event. Held at the Casino de Gujan-Mestras, the €550 buy-in tournament attracted 393 players. Yassir, a local regular at the casino, emerged victorious to win €31,540, one of the most prestigious titles on the French poker circuit. The event was part of the Deep Stack Open (DSO) circuit, an international series that also visited Cannes, Tangier, and Lloret del Mar.

Following his title, Yassir continued to perform well in regional events:

• 2014: 12th in TexaPoker Series Gujan Festival (€500 buy-in, 160 players, €1,300)
• 2016: 34th in BPT Bordeaux Main Event (€570 buy-in, 363 players, €1,400)
• 2018: 11th in UDSO Cup Gujan Mestras Main Event (€550 buy-in, 398 players, €3,680)
• 2019: 10th in En Route pour l’EPT Main Event (€200 buy-in, 684 players, €2,050)

These results demonstrate his ability to consistently reach the money in medium-to-large fields, particularly in the Bordeaux/Gujan-Mestras area.

Based on his tournament history, Yassir employs a disciplined, tight-aggressive (TAG) style. He excels in deep-stack structures, patiently accumulating chips while avoiding unnecessary risks. His success in the Deepstack Open, known for 50-minute levels and 50,000 starting stacks, highlights his proficiency in deep-stack play. He tends to extract value from strong hands and fold marginal holdings under pressure, a strategy that minimizes variance in large fields.

Yassir remains a respected figure in the French poker community, particularly in the Southwest region. While not an international superstar, his local victory and consistent cashes have earned him recognition among hardcore tournament followers. He represents the steady, professional approach that values longevity over flashy results.
