Early Career
Fred Wise is a poker player from the United Kingdom who has been active since at least 2011, according to online poker community profiles. He is known primarily as a cash game player but has also recorded several notable live tournament results at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham.
Major Tournament Results
Wise's largest live cash came in May 2017 when he won the £100,000 guaranteed DTD200 event at Dusk Till Dawn. He topped a field of 428 entrants to claim the £21,100 first-place prize, which included a £1,100 tournament ticket. The final table included several Dusk Till Dawn regulars such as Denis Ford (second, £13,000) and Karen Arthur (fourth, £7,400).
Prior to that, his biggest score was £7,700 for finishing third in a £550 buy-in tournament at Dusk Till Dawn in September 2014. Later that same year, Wise cashed in the 2014 online poker World Poker Tour United Kingdom Main Event, finishing 36th out of 354 entrants for £6,500. He also led after Day 1b of that event with 215,100 chips, notably flopping quad threes to eliminate Toby Lewis late in the day.
According to WSOP.com, Wise has 1 career cash and total live earnings of $10,183, though this figure likely does not include all his results.
Notable Hands
During Day 1b of the 2014 WPT UK Main Event, Wise flopped quad threes on a J-3-3-J-7 board against Toby Lewis, winning a huge pot that propelled him to the chip lead. At the final table of the DTD200, Wise eliminated Steven Watkins when his ace-nine held against jack-seven, and later won a key pot by calling a river bluff with queen-deuce, prompting his opponent to muck.
Playing Style
Based on limited hand histories and player reports, Fred Wise is described as a conservative and disciplined player. He prefers a tight-aggressive style, focusing on hand selection and positional play. He rarely bluffs and avoids large pots unless he has a strong holding. This approach is well-suited for deep-stacked cash games, though it can be less effective in tournament structures with fast-rising blinds.
Legacy
Fred Wise remains a relatively low-profile figure in the poker world, known more for his consistency in cash games and mid-stakes tournaments than for major titles. His victory in the DTD200 is his most notable achievement to date. He is respected among the Dusk Till Dawn regulars for his solid fundamentals and calm demeanor at the tables.
