Career Earnings & Biggest Results
According to The Hendon Mob, Elior Sion has total live earnings of over $3.3 million. His biggest achievement happened at the 2017 WSOP in Las Vegas. He won the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, which is considered the “pro’s tournament” because it requires playing eight different types of poker. He took home a massive $1,395,767 and his first gold bracelet for that victory.
Sion has also performed well in other major series around the globe. He has several cashes in WPT events, including a runner-up finish in the 2013 partypoker WPT National London Main Event for £54,150 (~$80,840).

Biography & Poker Background
Elior Sion grew up in the United Kingdom and discovered poker as a young man. Unlike many of his peers who started by watching televised tournaments, Sion built his reputation in the tough online cash games. He became known as a specialist in “mixed games,” which include variations like Omaha, Stud, and Razz. This versatility allowed him to move from online tables to live tournaments with ease. While he doesn’t seek out the spotlight or do many interviews, he is highly regarded by other professionals for his deep understanding of game theory. He continues to live and play primarily out of London when he is not traveling for major international circuits.
Play Style & Strategy
Sion is known for a calculated and versatile style of play. He is a very calm player who rarely shows emotion, making him very hard to read. Because he is an expert in so many different poker games, he can adapt his strategy depending on the format and the opponents at his table. He is particularly strong in “limit” games where mathematical precision is more important than raw aggression. His ability to stay focused during long sessions was a key factor in his 2017 championship win, where he had to play for several days against the best in the business. He plays a very balanced game that makes it difficult for his rivals to find any weaknesses.
