Christophe De Meulder

Christophe De Meulder is a poker pro from Antwerp in Belgium, and is the twin brother of fellow Team PokerStars Pro Matthias De Meulder. He became famous on national TV back home as a child, when he hosted his own show with his brother, where they were sent out to interview celebrities. In addition to playing poker, he also now studies Political Science at university.

It was his brother who introduced him to the game of poker, and he's been a regular at PokerStars ever since. He focuses mainly on cash games, and has found big success in the last few years. He's also now started to make an impact on the tournament circuit, both live and online. He won a $109 tournament on PokerStars in 2009 for a cash of $11,699. This was followed a month later by a final table appearance in the €500 No Limit Hold'em side tournament at the PokerStars Italian Poker Tour San Remo 4 event, finishing in 4th place for a cash of $6,386.

Christophe is proud to now be a member of the team and is looking forward to playing at the biggest events and taking a shot at winning a major title. He also wants to use his celebrity status to help raise the profile of poker in Belgium, and encourage more players to start playing live and online.

Away from poker, Christophe likes keeping fit, which he believes helps his game. He plays a wide range of sports including basketball, tennis, squash and football. He also likes travelling the world to find exciting places and meet new people, as well as catching up with friends. He is a member of Team PokerStars Pro and plays online using the screen name ‘chrisdm’.
