Steven Raymond

Steven Raymond's early recorded cash comes from a live tournament at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, Minnesota. On June 10, 2025, he finished 6th in a $180 "Winners Shown" event, earning $648. This result, listed under "Steven R," likely refers to the same player.

Raymond made a deep run in the 2026 DeepStack Showdown (DSM Event #06) at the Venetian Poker Room in Las Vegas. The tournament attracted 203 entrants. During the final table, Raymond eliminated James Leonard in 8th place ($2,414) when his K♣Q♦ outran Leonard's A♣10♠ on a board of K♠9♠10♣7♣5♣. Later, heads-up against Antuan Bunkley, Raymond was all-in with K♣10♥ but lost to A♠J♠ on a board of 2♥6♥7♣7♦8♦, finishing as runner-up for $15,266. This remains his largest known cash.

Based on limited hand history, Raymond appears willing to play for stacks with broadway holdings. In the DeepStack event, he opened with K♣Q♦ from early position and called a short-stack's jam, and later shoved with K♣10♥ from the button. These hands suggest an aggressive, high-variance approach typical of tournament players.

While Raymond's public resume is thin, his runner-up finish at the Venetian highlights his ability to compete in medium-field events. As an American grinder, he continues to build his tournament experience, with potential for further success.
