Troy Quenneville is a Canadian poker player who arrived on the live scene as something close to a mystery — almost unknown in live circles despite holding $2.6 million in online tournament winnings under the PokerStars handle “teckidtq” since 2008. The revelation of that online record coincided with a breakthrough live stretch in late 2016 and early 2017 that produced a WPT Caribbean runner-up and a partypoker MILLIONS title in the space of a single week, instantly marking him as one of the most dangerous emerging players in North American poker.

Career Earnings & Biggest Results

With total live tournament earnings surpassing $1,604,756 (according to The Hendon Mob), Quenneville’s live record is concentrated in a remarkable breakthrough period.

His standout results include:

2017: 1st place in the partypoker MILLIONS at the Caribbean Poker Party in Punta Cana for ~$400,000 — his career-best live score at the time, won as the commanding chip leader.
2017: Runner-up in the WPT Caribbean Main Event at the same Caribbean Poker Party festival for ~$220,000 — runner-up to Niall Farrell in the same week as his MILLIONS win.
Online: Over $2.6 million in online tournament winnings under “teckidtq” on PokerStars since 2008, and further results on partypoker under “good player.”
December 2024: Cash of $140,900, confirming continued live activity.

His estimated total poker net worth, combining live and online, exceeds $3 million.

Biography & Poker Background

Quenneville had been grinding online since 2008, racking up $2.6 million under “teckidtq” on PokerStars, but he had entered almost no live events and had under $500 in recorded live cashes before November 2016. That changed when he arrived at the Caribbean Poker Party in Punta Cana in late 2016.

Over a single festival week, Quenneville accomplished what many full-time live professionals spend years trying to achieve. He finished runner-up to Niall Farrell in the WPT Caribbean Main Event, netting approximately $220,000. Then, days later, he chip-led the partypoker MILLIONS final table from start to finish, eliminating Martin Kozlov and David Yan on his way to the $400,000 title. He returned to Canada having earned approximately $620,000 in a single trip.

A PokerNews profile at the time described him as “a relatively unknown player in the live realm” — while simultaneously noting his $2.6 million in online earnings. That combination of elite online credentials and near-complete live anonymity made his Caribbean week all the more compelling.

Play Style & Strategy

Quenneville is a technically elite online specialist whose live results confirm that his internet game translates fully to the live arena when he chooses to compete.

His approach includes:

Online-forged precision: Years of high-stakes online play under “teckidtq” have built range construction and situation-reading skills that transfer directly to big-field live events.
Dominant chip leader play: His MILLIONS win was won from the front — he chip-led the final table throughout and used his position to apply relentless pressure on shorter stacks.
