Biography & Poker Background

Gathercole hails from Australia, where he developed a passion for multi-table tournaments before expanding his poker schedule to major international festivals across East and Southeast Asia.

Gathercole recorded his first title victory on home soil in early 2023, taking down the Big Chill Freezeout at the Australian Poker Tour stop in Brisbane for $4,789. He subsequently shifted his focus toward major Asian festivals, establishing a reputation as a dangerous short-handed and fast-structure specialist. In July 2024, Gathercole secured his career-high payout at NagaWorld Integrated Resort in Phnom Penh during WPT Cambodia , claiming runner-up honors in the $1,800 High Roller Hyper Turbo for $9,203. He maintained consistency throughout 2025, posting runner-up finishes at Manila Megastack 21 in the Philippines and the Danang Poker Tour Mini High Roller in Vietnam, where he earned $7,525. He returned to Phnom Penh in August 2026 to compete in the WPT Cambodia Passport to the World Championship series.

Play Style & Strategy

Gathercole plays an aggressive and adaptable No-Limit Hold’em tournament style. He has performed consistently in hyper-turbos, single-day high rollers, and short-handed freezeouts, relying on disciplined pre-flop ranges, pressure in short-stack situations, and well-timed aggression late in tournaments. His strong record of heads-up and final-table finishes in fast-paced events across Australia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Cambodia shows his ability to make sound ICM decisions and stay composed under time pressure.
