Lewis Spencer

Lewis Spencer is an elite British professional poker player and high-stakes specialist who has rapidly become one of the United Kingdom's most successful exports to the global circuit. Originally from Stockport and now based in London, Spencer is widely known in the poker community by his online alias "Blackout." A respected coach and clinical technician, he transitioned from a background in acting and modeling into a world-class poker career that spans the WSOP, Triton Super High Roller Series, and the PokerGO Tour (PGT).

Spencer hails from Stockport, England, and later moved to London. Before poker, he pursued acting and modeling, but eventually found his calling at the tables. His first recorded live cash dates back to 2016, and he quickly rose through the ranks.

Spencer made his first major splash at the World Series of Poker in 2022, finishing 20th in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event World Championship for $241,800. This result put him on the map as a serious contender.

In 2023, Spencer finished 4th in the WSOP Event #16: $25,000 High Roller (8-Handed), earning $511,782. This was his second-largest score at the time and solidified his reputation in high-stakes events.

2024 Career Best: Wynn Summer Championship

Spencer's career reached a historic peak in 2024 when he finished 3rd in the Wynn Summer Championship $10,400 No-Limit Hold'em event for a career-best $1,123,597. This remains his largest live cash to date.

Spencer is known for his aggressive yet calculated approach, particularly in high-pressure situations.
