Ulf Hakan Delin
Sweden
Ulf Hakan Delin is a Swedish poker professional who has participated in major European live tournaments since at least 2013. He gained attention during the 2023 Irish Open Main Event, where he finished Day 1a among the chip leaders with 152,500 chips, though his overall live tournament results remain largely unrecorded.
Overview
Ulf Hakan Delin, also known as Uffe Delin, is a Swedish poker player who has been active in the European live tournament scene for over a decade. He has entered events such as the Poker-SM, Christmas Poker Week, and the Irish Open, but his public record of cashes is minimal.
Early Career (2013–2014)
Delin's earliest documented appearances come from Swedish live reports. In October 2013, he played in the Poker-SM on Malta, where he was eliminated after moving all-in with 9♣9♥ against Jimmy Svärdhagen's T♣T♥ on a board that included a ten. During the 2014 Christmas Poker Week, he was knocked out when his A♣A♥ lost to Bosse Green's 4♣4♦ on a Q♠4♠3♦ flop. At this time, his reported statistics showed 7 events with zero total winnings.
Notable Performances
In August 2015, Delin advanced through Day 1C of a PokerStars-sponsored live event (likely EPT Barcelona), bagging 140,100 chips – one of the top stacks among Swedish players. His most prominent result came in April 2023 at the €1,150 Irish Open Main Event in Dublin. On Day 1a, he accumulated 152,500 chips, placing him 8th among 324 entries, well above the chip average. He secured a spot in Day 2, but further progress is not publicly available.
Summary
Despite a low profile and limited reported cashes, Ulf Hakan Delin has consistently participated in high-profile European tournaments. His ability to build big stacks in large fields, as seen in the 2023 Irish Open, suggests solid tournament skills. However, detailed information about his playing style or career earnings remains scarce.
