Farid Jattin is the undisputed leader of Colombian poker and one of the most feared competitors on the international high-stakes circuit. Known for his relentlessly aggressive “matador” style, Jattin has amassed over $10 million in live earnings, making him the #1 player on Colombia’s all-time money list. A consistent force in both No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO), he has become a global high-roller elite and a respected coach, frequently dominating final tables at the WSOP, EPT, and Aussie Millions.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings surpassing $10,250,000 (according to The Hendon Mob), Jattin is the face of South American poker. His career-best live score of $746,000 was achieved with a 7th-place finish in the 2019 PSPC Players Championship in the Bahamas. Jattin has come agonizingly close to WSOP gold multiple times, most notably finishing 2nd in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) $5,000 PLO event for $404,430 and 2nd in a 2022 $5,000 NLH event for $334,747. His dominance has continued through 2025 and early 2026, recently finishing 3rd in the 2025 PokerGO Cup Event #7 for $161,250 and securing a deep run in the 2025 WSOP Main Event (168th) for $60,000. His immense consistency across the globe contributes to an estimated poker net worth of over $8 million.
Biography & Poker Background
Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, and now residing in Miami, Jattin’s journey is one of pure discipline and evolution. He transitioned from a successful online grinder to a live high-stakes specialist in the early 2010s, quickly earning a reputation for being one of the most difficult players to sit across from. Jattin’s breakthrough year came in 2020, where he kicked off the season with back-to-back victories at the Aussie Millions $25,000 Challenge and the Australian Poker Open PLO event. Beyond his personal play, he is a dedicated mentor, founding Farid Jattin Poker Coaching to teach students the theoretical and psychological foundations of the game. He remains a pillar of the Latin American poker community, inspiring a new generation of players from Colombia to Brazil with his “hunger and willingness to work harder than anyone else.”
Play Style & Strategy
Jattin is world-renowned for his “unapologetically aggressive and fearless” play style. His strategy is deeply rooted in modern Game Theory Optimal (GTO) principles, but he is specifically feared for his ability to identify and exploit human error in high-pressure spots. He is a master of the “big stack” strategy, using his chips as a weapon to steamroll tables and force opponents into marginal decisions for their entire tournament lives. A true mixed game threat, Jattin is equally proficient in Pot-Limit Omaha and Big O, often finding technical edges in non-Hold’em formats where technical proficiency is paramount. Whether navigating a European Poker Tour (EPT) final table or a World Poker Tour (WPT) High Roller, Jattin’s strategy revolves around technical balance, relentless pressure, and a total absence of fear in “nosebleed” stakes.
