Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Morocco, Mehdi Chaoui resides in Casablanca. He began playing live poker in 2019 at the age of 18. After discovering the game through the French poker show Dans la tête d’un Pro and moving to Paris for university, he started playing regularly at a Parisian gaming club.
He achieved early success in live tournaments, and during the 2020 lockdown, he transitioned to online poker, quickly adapting and becoming a consistent winner. In 2023, he joined the Winamax Team Pro. He frequently travels the global circuit, competing in Triton, APT, and WSOP series events.
Play Style & Strategy
Chaoui is known for a solid and confident approach to the game, often performing strongly in smaller, high-stakes fields. He considers himself primarily an exploitative player who also has a strong theoretical foundation in poker. His victory in the BSOP Super High Roller showcased resilience, as he halted a major heads-up comeback attempt by his opponent to secure the title. His ability to navigate star-studded final tables proves him to be one of the toughest regulars in the modern game.
