In both poker and crypto trading, timing is everything. For Jordi Alexander, that truth has been the foundation of a two-decade journey that’s taken him from friendly card games to the most elite poker rooms in the world and from the trading screens of high-stakes markets to the top tier of the crypto industry.

Currently based in Singapore, Jordi has been immersed in poker for over 20 years, drawn to the game by the same spark that’s guided his career in trading: a deep love of strategy. “I’ve always loved card and strategy games,” he says. “Poker just combined all the things I enjoyed most.” While many players specialize in one variant, Jordi gravitates toward Dealer’s Choice, the ultimate showcase of versatility and adaptability at the table.

His respect for poker’s greats is grounded in performance and personality. He singles out Trueteller for unmatched technical skill, and Nick Schulman for the rare ability to combine elite-level play with humility and balance, qualities that Jordi strives for himself.

That pursuit of excellence has paid off in both cash games and tournaments. His most significant single win came in the legendary Bobby’s Room, where he walked away with $400,000 in profit. In tournaments, his crowning achievement arrived in 2024 when he captured a World Series of Poker bracelet (RAZZ $10k) and $300,000, ending a decade-long quest after countless deep runs. “Finally winning that bracelet after going to 10-plus World Series events was incredibly satisfying,” he reflects.

Despite his competitive nature, Jordi has little patience for negativity at the tables. His biggest pet peeve is watching professionals berate recreational players when they lose a hand a reaction he believes misses the point of the game. “Poker is about competition, but also about respect,” he says. “Variance is part of it, and you should embrace it, not complain about it.”

If given the chance to build his dream table, Jordi would choose a mix of talent, personality, and unpredictability: Ren Lin, Daniel Negreanu, Trueteller, Phil Ivey, and Patrik Antonius. Around the felt, he enjoys playful rivalries, counting Jared Bleznick and Phil Hellmuth among his “Phenom nemeses.”

When he’s not at the tables, Jordi keeps his mind sharp with chess, bridge, and other strategy-driven board games. Online poker fits neatly into his lifestyle, lower stakes sessions might see him multitasking with trading, while high-stakes battles demand his full focus, with only music in the background.

Now, at Phenom Poker, Jordi is ready to bring his skill set to the platform’s most challenging arena: the highest-stakes mixed games, playing under the screen name pkrchp. Expect to see him in the 1k/2k USDT and 2k/4k USDT mixed games, battling high-stakes legends like Viktor Blom, Jared Bleznick, and Daniel Cates.
