Biography & Poker Background
Based in Athens, Greece, Symeon Alexandridis transitioned from a semi-pro gamer to a world-class poker professional. A self-described “Age of Empires” enthusiast, he brought a gamer’s analytical mindset to the felt, quickly rising through the ranks of the European mid-stakes. His major breakthrough occurred in 2022 at the EPT Prague, where his third-place finish signaled the arrival of a new Greek powerhouse.
Alexandridis is known for his technical versatility, often competing in 5-Card PLO and Mixed Game events where technical edges are most pronounced. In April 2026, he returned to Prague for the World Series of Poker Europe (WSOPE). In a heart-wrenching turn of events, he was eliminated on the “stone bubble” of the record-breaking Main Event. Holding $A\spades K\diamondsuit$ against Daan Mulders’ pocket tens, he failed to improve, exiting just one spot shy of the €10,000 min-cash while Shaun Deeb survived an all-in on an adjacent table. Despite this setback, his recent WSOP Circuit ring victory in Liechtenstein confirms he remains at the peak of his technical abilities.
Play Style & Strategy
Alexandridis is renowned for a “clinical, aggressive, and range-conscious” play style. His strategy is built on elite Game Theory Optimal (GTO) foundations, specifically optimized for the deep-stack structures of EPT and WSOP “Championship” events.
His strategy revolves around:
- Mixed Game Proficiency: A deep understanding of Pot-Limit Omaha variants, which allows him to maintain a high ROI in festivals that offer specialized side events.
- Short-Handed Aggression: Excelling in 6-Max and 7-Handed environments, where his willingness to construct polarized bluffing ranges forces technical errors from more conservative opponents.
- Mental Resilience: Displaying the “gamer’s composure” required to bounce back from high-variance swings, such as his 2026 Main Event bubble, to immediately compete in high-roller fields.
