Major Tournament Results
Ray's most notable achievement came in the 2014 Poker-SM (Svenska Pokerförbundets SM), where he finished 5th out of a large field. On the final hand, he moved all-in with T♦T♠ for approximately 1.5 million, but was called by Daniel Karlsson holding A♥K♦. The board ran 2♦A♠6♠Q♠Q♣, eliminating Ray in fifth place and earning him 190,000 SEK. This remains his largest recorded live cash.
Playing Style
Limited information is available about Ray's specific playing style. However, his one recorded all-in from the 2014 Poker-SM shows a willingness to gamble with pocket tens in a pivotal spot, suggesting an aggressive approach when short-stacked or near the bubble.
Personal Life
Ray is Swedish and has a sister, Joanna Ray, who also plays poker. The siblings were both in contention for a cash in the 2012 Pokerförbundets live-SM, as noted in live updates. Beyond poker, little is publicly known about his personal life or other professional activities.
