Uri Reichenstein is a professional poker player hailing from Tel Aviv, Israel. Reichenstein is one of Israel's elite-level poker tournament grinders, one with more than $4.1 million in live tournament winnings, placing him second behind Amir Lehavot in the Israel all-time money list.
Reichenstein burst onto the live poker scene in 2016 with two six-figure scores. He finished second in a $2,200 buy-in event in Cyprus for $125,000 in March and followed that up with a runner-up finish in the €5,300 European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona Main Event in August for €807,100.
The talented Israeli has since racked up another seven six-figure prizes, including another runner-up finish in Barcelona. Reichenstein finished second in the 2019 EPT Barcelona €10,300 High Roller for €7,94,415.
More than $800,000 of Reichenstein's earnings stem from the World Series of Poker (WSOP), although he is yet to secure a coveted WSOP bracelet. Reichenstein came agonizingly close to capturing a bracelet in 2021 when he finished second to Boris Kolev in a $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em event, a result that added $315,936 to Reichenstein's bankroll.
