2019 World Series of Poker Europe
Mehrzad Moadeli gained attention during the 2019 World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE) at King's Resort in Rozvadov. In Event #15: €550 Colossus No-Limit Hold'em, a massive 2,738-entry tournament, Moadeli emerged as the chip leader on Day 1i, holding six times the average stack. He dispatched Yehuda Yosef in a memorable hand where Moadeli's 10♦9♦ flopped bottom pair and a flush draw, turned two pair, and held against Yosef's pocket kings. Later, he showed a bluff on the river, flashing 7♦3♦ for a straight after betting the river.
In Event #14: €10,350 Main Event, Moadeli continued his aggressive style. He eliminated Thomer Pidun, flopping a set of sevens (7♣7♥) and rivering a full house against Pidun's aces. His loud celebration earned a warning from tournament staff for lack of respect, but the victory propelled him to a stack of 420,000.
Playing Style
Based on available reports, Moadeli plays an aggressive, vocal style. He is not afraid to make large bluffs and is willing to get his stack in on draws, as seen in the Colossus hand where he called a three-bet with 10♦9♦. He also shows a flair for the dramatic, celebrating loudly and photographing winning hands. His ability to accumulate chips quickly suggests a fearless approach to tournament poker.
Personal Background
Publicly available information is limited. Moadeli is listed as a Danish player. A separate LinkedIn profile for an architect named Mehrzad Moadeli in Iran may not be the same person; no connection to poker is established.
