Biography

Naseem Salem is an American poker player best known for winning Event #11: $10,000 GGMillion$ High Roller at the 2026 World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas. This victory captured Salem's first WSOP bracelet and $1,089,964.

Salem has played poker since his student days, and has been known to frequent high-stakes mixed games. However, his best results come in Texas Hold'em.

He finished 58th in the 2007 WSOP Main Event for $154,104. Salem also cashed in the 2018 WSOP Main Event for another $18,340. At the 2024 WSOP, Salem was the runner-up in the $1,979 Poker Hall of Fame Bounty event, banking $208,919 but missing out on a coveted bracelet.

Salem made amends for that bridesmaid finish by topping a 627-strong field in the $10,000 GGMillion$ High Roller.
