Biography & Poker Background

Originally from Oregon, Reynolds has transitioned from a local West Coast favorite into a formidable international circuit nomad. While he holds deep roots in the Pacific Northwest, where he is ranked 124th on the Oregon All Time Money List, he has recently shifted his primary focus toward the high-stakes markets in Southeast Asia. His ability to rack up five final tables in a single festival at NagaWorld underscores his reputation as one of the hardest-working regulars in the modern tournament scene.

Play Style & Strategy

Reynolds is recognized for an adaptive and highly resilient play style that excels in fast-paced “Megastack” and “Turbo” formats. His recent string of runner-up finishes in Cambodia demonstrates an elite proficiency in navigating bubble dynamics and final table ICM pressure. He typically employs a calculated, value-driven approach that allows him to capitalize on the variance of large-field events, making him a dangerous opponent in both short-handed and full-ring scenarios.
