Curtis Knight is a Canadian poker player and coach from Toronto, Ontario, who has built over $1 million in live tournament earnings while simultaneously establishing himself as one of the most active and respected voices in the Pokercode study community. Born and raised in Toronto, Knight got into poker through high school home games around 2008–2009, and has since developed into a player capable of competing at the elite Triton Super High Roller level - while spending time away from the felt playing lacrosse and investing in community-based poker education.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings surpassing $1,047,593 (according to The Hendon Mob), Knight has built his results across a diverse international schedule that ranges from the World Series of Poker to some of the highest-stakes events in the world.
His standout results include:
- Triton Super High Roller deep runs - Knight has made multiple deep runs on the Triton Poker circuit, competing alongside the best players in the world in events with six-figure buy-ins. His deep runs were noted alongside Pokercode community members at the same festivals, confirming genuine ability at the super high roller level.
- Multiple WSOP cashes across his career, including online editions.
- Consistent mid-six-figure tournament results building his overall earnings past the seven-figure mark.
His estimated poker net worth is over $1 million.
Biography & Poker Background
Knight picked up poker in high school in Toronto around 2008–2009, the tail end of the online boom, and spent years developing his game through a combination of online study and live competition. He is a member of the Pokercode community - the study platform founded by Fedor Holz and Matthias Eibinger - and has served as a Community Coach, running weekly Quiz Nights for members and contributing consistently to its Slack channels.
Pokercode profiled him in 2021, describing a player who had experienced his most successful year in 2020 and was still pushing upward. “Curtis’ journey has not necessarily been spotted with huge breakthroughs as much as it has seen him consistently grow through hard work,” the profile read. “The goal is just to keep improving and trust the process.”
Beyond poker, Knight is a lacrosse player - a sport he has continued to play alongside his poker career. His dual identity as a competitive player and a teacher within the study community places him in a relatively small group of players who contribute as much to the game’s intellectual ecosystem as they do to the results pages.
Play Style & Strategy
Knight is a technically grounded, study-oriented player whose involvement in one of the game’s most rigorous training communities reflects a commitment to continued improvement rather than coasting on natural ability.
His approach includes:
- Community-based study: His role as a Pokercode community coach suggests a player who improves through articulating concepts to others - one of the most effective study methods available.
- High-roller ambition: His Triton appearances confirm genuine aspiration and ability at the sport’s highest buy-in levels, not just consolidation at mid-stakes.
Social Media & Online Presence
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.
