Biography & Poker Background

Originally from Germany, Nass transitioned from the European scene to become a dominant traveler in the Asia-Pacific region starting in early 2024. He gained immediate attention by securing back-to-back major titles in Manila within his first year on the circuit, outperforming fields composed of seasoned international professionals and regional specialists. Known for his relentless focus and disciplined approach to the “nosebleed” Turbo schedules, Nass is often cited alongside top German pros like Lars Kamphues and Dominik Nitsche as part of the powerful D-A-CH contingent competing in Asian hubs like Manila and Taipei.

Play Style & Strategy

Nass is recognized for a highly aggressive and technical play style, particularly excelling in fast-paced No Limit Hold’em formats such as Turbos and Mystery Bounties. His strategy emphasizes extreme tactical pressure during the late stages of tournaments, a skill set that has propelled him to multiple final tables and two high-profile victories in the Philippines. Like many modern German professionals, his approach is rooted in GTO (Game Theory Optimal) foundations, but he displays a unique ability to adapt to the specific “whirlwind” aggression common in Asian tournament fields. His composure during high-variance short-stack phases makes him a formidable opponent in the regional high-roller circuit.
