Ravi Sherda

Ravi Sherda, also recorded as Ravi Sheth or Ravi Sharda in tournament databases, is a professional poker player from the United Kingdom. With total live earnings exceeding $497,500 from 27 recorded cashes, Sherda has built a reputation for solid tournament performances across Europe and the UK. His career includes two first-place finishes in GUKPT events and a deep run in a WSOP International Super Circuit main event.

Sherda's most notable achievements came in August 2023 during the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) stop in London. On August 19, he won the £560 No-Limit Hold'em event for £61,659 ($71,200 equivalent), and just four days later he topped the £340 No-Limit Hold'em event for £50,010 ($50,010). These back-to-back victories showcased his ability to close out tournaments.

Earlier in August 2023, he placed fourth in the £3,300 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event of the WSOP International Super Circuit London, earning £177,800 ($177,800) – his largest single cash to date. This performance demonstrated his capability to compete against elite fields in high-stakes events.

Sherda has regularly traveled to European Poker Tour (EPT) stops and other international festivals. In 2026, he cashed in the EPT Monte Carlo €3,250 Mystery Bounty ($5,066) and the €1,650 No-Limit Hold'em ($15,397). He also cashed in the 2026 World Series of Poker Europe €5,300 Main Event for $23,230 and the 2026 Irish Open €1,150 Main Event for $3,013.

Notable results from earlier years include:

• 2025 NAPT Las Vegas $1,100 No-Limit Hold'em – 45th place ($3,050)
• 2025 PokerStars Open Manchester £1,100 Main Event – 8th place ($27,890)
• 2025 EPT Monte Carlo €5,300 Main Event – 125th place ($11,018)
• 2025 Irish Poker Open €1,150 Main Event – 26th place ($16,530)
• 2024 EPT Monte Carlo €2,200 No-Limit Hold'em – 16th place ($17,820)
• 2024 Irish Open €1,150 Main Event – 35th place ($8,999)

Beyond GUKPT, Sherda has consistently performed on the UK tournament circuit. In October 2023, he finished 6th in the GUKPT Leeds £1,000 Main Event ($12,682). The prior month, he placed 3rd in the GUKPT Luton £2,000 Main Event ($18,956). In 2022, he recorded a cash in the UKIPT London £1,100 Main Event, though he was eliminated in a hand playing against Tim Slater (board ran out for a superior flush).

Based on available results, Sherda appears to be a well-rounded tournament grinder with a preference for mid-stakes buy-ins. His ability to win multi-table events and also accumulate deep finishes in large fields suggests a patient, disciplined approach. The range of tournaments he enters – from £340 side events to €5,300 main events – indicates adaptability and a focus on positive expected value spots.

While not a household name, Ravi Sherda represents the backbone of the professional poker community: a dedicated player who steadily builds results across multiple tours. His back-to-back GUKPT wins in 2023 and his fourth-place finish in the WSOPC London stand as career highlights, and his continued presence at EPT and Irish Open events points to a long-term commitment to the game.
