Leader Chergui and Fellow Viking Engage in Conversation
In the ongoing poker tournament, I stumbled upon a familiar Swedish face, Andreas Lundin, seated at Table 11. However, a heated game was underway, with a tempting pot up for grabs.
The board flipped to 6♦3♥10♦, sporting a hefty stack of approximately 15,000 chips in the center. Nikolaos Sapkas and Dzhem Yumer chose to stay quiet, before Anass Chergui made a move with a 4,500 chip bet. Stavros Georgoulas and Sapkas followed suit, making the call, causing Yumer to bail out.
The 6♥ turn arrived, sending Sapkas back to the check. Chergui then upped the stakes with a bold 12,000 chip bet, forcing both Georgoulas and Sapkas to fold. The pot now belonged to Chergui, who had previously showcased his formidable skills in yesterday's €450 Monsterstack Mystery Bounty event.
Anass Chergui holds a commanding chip stack of 259,000.
Interestingly, Anass Chergui has been on a hot streak in recent tournaments. In the €450 Monsterstack Mystery Bounty event held in Thessaloniki, he managed to climb to the top spot after Level 11, despite a brief break due to a broken phone. His impressive performance in this event added to his busy schedule that included the €600 Main Event and a €150 PLO4/5 event[1].
Chergui also put up a strong fight in the 2025 PokerStars Open in Namur, securing a substantial chip stack of 883,000 during Day 2, placing him among the chip leaders as the field progressed to Day 3 with 91 players remaining[2]. Although he finished in 40th place in the final payouts, Chergui still earned a respectable €3,960[3].
These results demonstrate Anass Chergui's consistent excellence and competitive edge in mid-to-high stakes European poker tournaments, including his outstanding performance in the €450 Monsterstack Mystery Bounty.
Anass Chergui's impressive poker performance extends beyond the ongoing tournament, with his recent success in the €450 Monsterstack Mystery Bounty event in Thessaloniki showcasing his competitive edge. His skillset in sports, particularly poker, has consistently placed him among the top contenders in mid-to-high stakes European poker tournaments.
