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.

Daniel “judgedredd13” Charlton is a professional poker player from Macclesfield, England — a dual-format grinder known as much for his prolific online output under his “judgedredd13” alias as for an increasingly prominent live record that culminated in a WSOP Circuit ring at Dusk Till Dawn in March 2024. His biggest live cash remains $261,430 for 32nd in the 2019 WSOP Main Event, and his WSOPC UK win — completed on a single-digit big blind comeback from 12 players out — came six months after giving up alcohol. He is rarely seen at a final table without a Macclesfield Town shirt.

Biography & Poker Background

Charlton is from Macclesfield and has been competing on the UK circuit since at least 2011, when he finished second in the GUKPT Manchester Main Event for £39,350. He is primarily known in online circles as “judgedredd13” — an alias under which he has been a prolific grinder across MTT fields for well over a decade, giving him a dual identity in the poker community: circuit regular and committed online volume player.

His biggest live result came at the 2019 WSOP in Las Vegas, where he navigated 8,569 runners to finish 32nd in the Main Event for $261,430 — a run that confirmed the quality of his live game at the highest stages. Then came 2024.

Six months before March 2024, Charlton had given up alcohol and the lifestyle that came with it. He arrived at Dusk Till Dawn for the WSOP Circuit UK Main Event having already shown form with deep runs at recent GUKPT events. Starting the final day with 12 players remaining and just 25,000 chips — barely half a starting stack — Charlton turned that single-digit big blind situation into a ring. He eliminated players in steady succession, eventually busting Patrice Brandt heads-up when his ace-king cracked Brandt’s pocket kings via an ace on the flop. The win earned him £73,295, a WSOP Circuit ring, and a Tournament of Champions seat.

He remains a familiar and well-liked presence on the UK circuit — still wearing his Macclesfield Town shirt, still grinding the online tables as judgedredd13.

Play Style & Strategy

Charlton is a versatile, technically grounded tournament player whose online background in high-volume MTTs gives him deep familiarity with ICM, stack-to-blind dynamics and late-stage pressure situations. His WSOPC comeback — from 25K chips to champion — is the kind of short-stack performance that requires precisely those skills. His live game is noted for patience early and calculated aggression when the blinds deepen.
