Mark Radoja is a world class professional poker player from Canada who has spent nearly two decades at the top of the game. Born in Ariss and based in Guelph, Ontario, he is known as one of the most consistent and tough competitors in the international poker circuit. While he is a master of live tournaments, he is equally feared on the virtual felt, where he has built a massive career under various usernames. As a three-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Radoja has proven time and again that he can outlast the best in the world, whether he is playing a specialized shootout, a heads-up battle, or a massive field online.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
According to The Hendon Mob, Mark Radoja has total live earnings of over $3.6 million. He currently sits inside the top 35 on the Canada All Time Money List. His biggest career cash actually came from a 2nd place finish in 2019, where he won $548,888 in the WSOP $888 Crazy Eights event.
Radoja is a three-time WSOP bracelet winner, with his most recent victory coming in 2025. He won his first piece of gold in 2011 in the $5,000 NLH Shootout for $436,568. In 2013, he showed off his technical skill by winning the $10,000 Heads-Up Championship for $331,190, famously beating out a field of elite specialists. He secured his third bracelet in August 2025 during the WSOP Online $2,500 Turbo NLH Championship, where he defeated David Peters to take home $182,565. Even in early 2026, he remains active at the highest levels, competing in the PGT PokerGO Cup in Las Vegas.
Biography & Poker Background
Born in 1985, Mark Radoja is a true veteran of the “Moneymaker” era. He started playing poker in his early 20s and quickly realized he had a natural talent for the strategy involved. Unlike many players who focus only on one format, Mark spent his early years mastering both live and online poker. He became a well-known “grinder,” a player who puts in thousands of hours to perfect their game. Throughout his career, he has been respected for his longevity, staying successful even as the game became much harder over the years. Despite his massive success and millions in winnings, Mark has always kept a relatively low profile, focusing on his results rather than the spotlight.
Play Style & Strategy
Radoja is famous for being a stoic and highly technical player. He is widely considered a specialist in “shorthanded” and “heads-up” poker, where having a deep understanding of psychology and math is essential. His victory in the $10,000 Heads-Up Championship is often cited as proof of his elite decision-making skills. He plays a tight-aggressive style but is known for being incredibly hard to bluff because he reads his opponents’ ranges so accurately. Mark is also praised for his mental toughness; he rarely shows frustration and is capable of maintaining the same high level of focus whether he is on a winning streak or facing a tough run of cards.
