Hugo Theotol

Hugo Theotol is a Canadian poker professional who has been active on the live tournament circuit since at least 2016. He is best known for his consistent performances in World Series of Poker (WSOP) and WSOP Circuit events, accumulating 18 cashes and over $33,000 in earnings without a bracelet or final table appearance.

Theotol’s strongest results have come in WSOP Circuit events at Playground Poker Club in Quebec. As of early 2026, his career-best cash is C$17,900 ($12,799 USD) for a 34th-place finish in a $2,500 No-Limit Hold’em Main Event in August 2025. Other top scores include C$10,200 (62nd) in a C$2,500 Main Event in April 2026 and C$2,500 (45th) in a C$400 Mini Main Event in March 2026.

The earliest documented result for Theotol comes from the 2016 WPT National Montreal, a C$540 buy-in event with 817 entrants. During Day 1c, he was involved in a hand where he reshoved all-in with pocket kings against Jason Bigelow’s ace-king and eliminated Bigelow. Theotol ultimately cashed in that tournament, though his final placement is not recorded.

Theotol is described by observers as a solid, thoughtful player who relies on position and hand reading rather than aggressive bluffs. His deep runs in large fields suggest a disciplined approach to bankroll management and patient accumulation of chips.

Outside of poker, Theotol appears to run a ventilation company, Ventilation Hugo Theotol Inc., based in Terrebonne, Quebec. This suggests he maintains a balanced lifestyle between poker and a professional trade.
