The Top Poker Streamers in Europe (Part II)

HeyMonia

ACR Pro Monika Hrabec (formally Zukowicz as she got married in November 2024) has been absolutely killing it on the live poker circuit since joining the ranks of the Americas Cardroom family back in November, 2022. 

Known as an online crusher, she quit her job as a pharmacist and took to the online poker streets, originally aligning with PartyPoker before jumping ship to ACR, she made her first impact to live poker in The Bahamas where she won the $550 Mystery Bounty during the PCA/PSPC even in January 2023, and used that to propel her from there. She has 3 Triton High Roller Series cashes to her credit, the last one coming in December, 2025 where she finished 9th in the $250k Triton Invitational for $771k, pushing her past the $1 Million mark.

Monika doesn’t stream as much as she used to, but she will never get fully away from her roots to poker online. Her Twitch channel entertains hundreds of fans when she’s on, and has amassed over 24k followers to date, and those followers take so much from her, as her poker sense was outstanding when she started in the game, and has only gotten better from there.

Truly one to keep your eye on the next time she goes live, Monika continues to crush it both virtually and live!

Girafganger7

Bert Stevens, aka girafganger7 is a Belgian online poker pro who absolutely dominates the competition every time he logs onto the poker client of his choosing. Having won over $3 million in lifetime earnings, the majority of that coming in the 2023 World Series of Poker Online Main Event where he won $2.7 Million, and streamed the entire event for thousands of fans to watch and cheer him on. 

His 13+ years streaming poker has helped him get to almost 50k followers on Twitch, where his typical streams attract hundreds to thousands of views. His reputation for being one of the greatest online MTT players of all time is backed by being one of only a few WSOP Online Main Event bracelet winners, and so many other triumphs in between. 

Safe to say, every time he goes live, there’s a great chance you’ll witness him take a big tournament down for the win.

SvenCalls

Sven McDermott is an Irish online poker pro that has enjoyed immense success in the live poker world, winning almost $250k in lifetime live winnings, the biggest score coming at the 2019 PSPC where he finished 44th for a $69k payday. 

Like Bert, Sven had a massive score during the 2023 WSOP Online, where he won Event #21: The $1,500 WSOP GGMasters High Roller for $253,823. He also streamed a $525 Bounty Hunters tournament back in June that he won for $52k.  Sven doesn’t just focus on high stake tournaments, he streams cash games just as much, giving his viewers variety between grinding out profit on the $1/$2 streets, to battling the bigger tournament pros online in the biggest online tournaments of the day.

You get a bit of everything watching Sven stream and win when he goes live, which he does on a frequent basis. You can catch him broadcasting several days a week most weeks on his Twitch channel, where some of his 20k followers will be watching him bluff and grind his way to the win.

Ian Simpson

The 888 Ambassador decided that teaching in school wasn’t for him, but online poker and teaching others how to play this great game did, and he took that leap of faith back in 2013 after a massive score at the 2012 Irish Open where he placed 4th in the main event for €107,500, and then topped that the year after going pro when he won the same event for €265,000.

Ian is not just an online crusher representing 888 Poker – he also runs MTT Poker School where his teaching skills are put to great use, explaining the dynamics of multi-table poker tournaments to those wanting to up their game.  In between, he goes out and crushes it on the 888 Poker streets.  He has grown his online community on Twitch up to 13k followers, and his broadcasts get hundreds of his poker fans to his channel to watch him give his opponents fits.

He is the ultimate combination of successful live poker player, online poker player, coach and teacher that all of his viewers can learn from and take tips to help improve their own game!

Josh Manley is a British poker player who represents the 888poker Stream team. The 36 year old has spent the better part of half of his life playing and grinding out poker, and has been playing online poker for money for as long as it was legal for him to do so, starting out at 18. 

When the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, Josh’s job was made redundant, and he decided that this was the time to start streaming and go for the pro life for online poker.  And thankfully, it’s worked out. His stream has grown to over 7k followers, and his laid back style, playing poker tournaments that many of his followers can play has helped grow his stream organically. 

Signing a deal with 888 helped boost his presence in the crowded world of online poker streamers, but he has maintained a steady following as a result. He broadcasts frequently, helping boost his analytics – he’s gone live for almost 3,000 hours and is broadcasting 3-4 days a week, so if you’re in the market for a relaxed poke stream, Josh Manley is one to check out!

Santazzzua

Denys Chufarin is a Ukrainian born professional poker player and GG Poker Ukraine Ambassador. Denys has over 15 years of experience playing online poker, and has been streaming online since 2018. Unlike most streamers, Denys specializes in broadcasting high stakes short deck poker, a game that he is very passionate about. 

Short Deck has been a staple of the Triton High Roller Series in recent years, and has been a variant of poker growing in overall popularity. His poker streams attract a healthy audience – typically broadcasting to hundreds of viewers every other day, if not more frequently.  Denys has grown his online community to well over 27k followers and gains thousands of views on his broadcasts. 

With just shy of 22k hours watched lifetime, he is getting the word out about how fun and exciting short deck cash games and tournaments can be!

AkaNemko

Nemo Zhou is a Chinese-Canadian professional chess player and grand champion who has started getting into the poker space as she has recently signed with Phenom Poker as a Ambassador in April, 2025. Nemo is using her platform from chess to its greatest potential by getting into poker streaming, and has been successful on the virtual felt and with her Twitch audiences. 

Her online community on Twitch is well over 360k followers, far larger than most established online poker pros, so putting that many eyes onto poker will benefit the game overall & her brand. Her almost daily streams won’t always focus on poker, but this up and coming poker steamer will be turning many heads in our industry, especially considering that she is already north of $50k in lifetime earnings after only a few months aligned with Phenom Poker.

We hope you have enjoyed our look at the current landscape of online poker streamers – many of whom you have heard of, and probably a few you haven’t!
