Originally from the Lake District, UK, I’ve spent the last few years living and breathing the Southeast Asian poker circuit. Since 2025, I’ve been a fixture on the floor at the APT, PokerStars, and WSOP events, serving as a lead reporter and media specialist for Somuchpoker. My work is about more than just recording action; I manage the social media and digital content that brings action rail to the fans. By combining a business education and creative background, I aim to look past the technical hand histories to capture the actual human grit and drama that happens during a deep run.

Biography & Poker Background

Born and based in Adelaide, Stevan Chew has navigated the poker circuit with the clinical precision of a modern veteran. He first burst into prominence in the online streets under various high-stakes pseudonyms, establishing a reputation as a relentless volume grinder on GGPoker and PokerStars. His transition to the live circuit felt seamless, seeing him put up dominant runs in the Asia-Pacific region before regularly traveling to take on the world’s best at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas.

Chew is a classic “pro’s pro.” Rather than chasing a single massive flash-in-the-pan score, his career is highlighted by dozens of consistent deep runs in demanding fields. Whether crushing high-value Mystery Bounty formats or fighting through fields in the flagship events of the WSOP, Chew’s ability to find technical edges has kept him firmly relevant in an ever-evolving meta. Currently sitting comfortably inside the top 60 of the Australia all-time money rankings, he remains a key model of down-under poker longevity.

Chew is widely known for a highly adaptive, analytical tournament strategy heavily reliant on GTO (Game Theory Optimal) logic. He features advanced tactical range construction from late positions and applies maximum ICM pressure, particularly when handling short-handed final table scenarios. Commentators regularly praise his post-flop discipline, noting his calculated patience when facing aggressive multi-barrel lines.
