Biography & Poker Background
Wells is a Welsh poker player who has found his competitive niche in the mixed-game events that many tournament professionals avoid — the nine-game and ten-game rotations, H.O.R.S.E., Dealers Choice and Stud variants that require mastery of multiple disciplines rather than the narrowly optimised strategies that dominate standard NLH fields.
His WSOP debut came in 2022, where he cashed in the $1,500 Eight-Game Mix in his first recorded WSOP appearance. By 2023 he had cashed eight times across that single summer series. The 2024 WSOP was his most remarkable summer before 2025: two runner-up finishes — in the $1,500 Dealers Choice for $90,339 and the $3,000 Limit Hold’em Six-Handed for $99,578 — alongside a 7th in the prestigious $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship for $52,651. Across those events he came painfully close to his first bracelet twice in the same summer.
He came back in 2025. In March he finished fifth in the PGT $25,000 10-Game Mix Championship for $112,000 at the PokerGO mixed games festival in Las Vegas. Then in June, at the WSOP, he won the $3,000 Nine-Game Mix — defeating a field of mixed-game specialists from around the world — to claim $228,115 and the bracelet that had eluded him twelve months earlier. The victory confirmed Wells as one of the UK’s finest and most committed mixed-game tournament players.
Play Style & Strategy
Wells is a dedicated mixed-game specialist who has invested heavily in the disciplines — Razz, Stud, HORSE, triple draw, Badugi — that sit outside most modern players’ comfort zones. His rapid ascent up the WSOP leaderboards across 2022–25 reflects both genuine expertise and an understanding that edge is often larger in less-popular game formats where fewer players have done the necessary study.
