Amichai Barer, known in the online world as “UhhMee,” is a Canadian high-stakes poker sensation and a prominent figure on the global tournament circuit. A 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner and 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event champion, Barer has evolved from a legendary online grinder into a premier live specialist. Currently ranking as one of the top earners on Canada’s all-time money list, he is revered for his technical mastery and ice-cold composure under pressure.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

With total live tournament earnings surpassing $4,095,000 (according to The Hendon Mob), Barer is a mainstay of the high-roller community. His career-best live score of $1,432,800 was achieved with his historic victory in the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event. Barer is a WSOP bracelet winner, capturing gold in 2024 during the WSOP Online $1,050 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha event. He has maintained incredible consistency through 2025 and into early 2026, recently finishing 7th in the 2024 EPT Paris Main Event for $216,917 and securing a 59th-place finish in the January 2026 WSOP International Circuit Calgary Main Event for $5,304. His massive success across both live and online nosebleed stakes contributes to an estimated poker net worth of over $8 million.

Biography & Poker Background

Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Barer built his reputation as an online phenom under the moniker “UhhMee.” Before he was a regular on the live high-stakes circuit, he was feared across platforms like PokerStars and GGPoker, where he amassed millions in winnings and famously won three high-roller events in a single day in 2020. Barer is known for his professional, soft-spoken demeanor, letting his technical play do the talking. Despite his young age during his initial breakout, he has demonstrated remarkable longevity, outlasting many of his peers from the early 2010s “boom” to remain a top-tier competitor in the modern solver era. Today, he is a key member of the elite group of Canadian pros who continue to dominate the European Poker Tour (EPT) and WSOP stops.

Play Style & Strategy

Barer is celebrated for a “highly technical, adaptive, and fearless” play style. His strategy is deeply rooted in modern theory, but he is specifically praised for his mental stamina and ability to switch between No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) with world-class proficiency. He is a master of “small-ball” poker, focusing on pot control and precise hand-reading to navigate through massive tournament fields with minimal risk. His approach is characterized by a “low-ego” philosophy, always willing to adapt his strategy based on the specific dynamics of the table rather than adhering to rigid formulas. Whether navigating a WSOP PLO championship or a deep run in an EPT Main Event, Barer’s strategy revolves around technical balance and clinical execution in high-leverage spots.
