Sergiu Alexandru Neagu
Romania
Sergiu Alexandru Neagu is a Romanian professional poker player known for his runner-up finish in the 2026 SCOOP Sunday Million on PokerStars and multiple cashes in WSOP Online events. He combines patient, tight play with calculated aggression, particularly in deep-stacked tournament phases.
Background
Sergiu Alexandru Neagu is a Romanian poker professional who competes in both online and live tournaments. While his early career details are not widely documented, he has built a reputation as a solid, experienced player on the European scene.
Major Achievements
Neagu’s most notable result came in the 2026 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) Sunday Million on PokerStars, where he finished as runner-up under the screen name "serale88." He reached the final table with a large stack and navigated through ICM pressure, but ultimately lost heads-up to the Portuguese player "Tratorcinha" after a key bluff was caught.
In addition, Neagu has two cashes in WSOP Online events, both recorded in 2021:
- WSOP Online #14: $77 LUCKY 7's No Limit Hold'em – 34th place out of 9,966 entries, earning $1,340.
- WSOP Online #7: BIG 25, $1M GTD – 2,504th place out of 68,313 entries, earning $89.
These results combine for a total of $1,429 in WSOP cashes, with an additional significant prize from the SCOOP Sunday Million (exact amount not publicly available).
Playing Style
Neagu is described as a careful but aggressive player. He tends to play tight early in tournaments, preserving his stack, and becomes more active in later stages using position and reads. In the SCOOP Sunday Million, he managed a big stack effectively but was undone by a heads-up bluff where his opponent called down with a pair of fives, shifting the momentum. His style reflects a balanced approach typical of modern online MTTs.
Recent Results
As of 2026, Neagu remains active in online tournaments, with the SCOOP runner-up being his most recent high-profile achievement. He continues to represent Romania in international online poker events.
