Biography & Poker Background
Originally from Turkey, Selahaddin Bedir has spent years quietly building a reputation as a world-class poker talent. While many pros seek the spotlight, Bedir is known for being a focused and humble professional who lets his results do the talking. He first gained major international attention during the 2021 high-stakes series in Cyprus, where he dominated some of the best players in the world.

Play Style & Strategy
Bedir is widely feared for his fearless and technical approach to the game. He is a player who isn’t afraid to pull off massive bluffs on the biggest stages, even in the middle of a World Series of Poker Main Event. Often described as having a “poker face” that is impossible to read, he combines modern game theory with a sharp instinct for his opponents’ weaknesses. His ability to maintain chip leads in long tournaments was famously shown at the 2024 EPT Monte Carlo Main Event, where he led the field into the final days of play. Whether he is playing a standard tournament or a $100,000 high roller, he treats every hand with the same calculated precision.
