Phu Vo ( nick name was bad boy )

Phu "Bad Boy" Vo hails from Katy, Texas, and has been making waves in the poker world since he started playing in 2022. Vo's introduction to the game began with home games, but he quickly transitioned to larger tournaments, where his aggressive playing style has earned him significant success. His first major result came in 2022 at the Hard Rock in Hollywood, Florida, where he placed 5th out of 6,134 entries in a $400 buy-in event, earning $136,000. Since then, Vo has continued to build on his success with two more six-figure cashes at the Champions Club in Houston. In April 2025, he secured another 5th place finish, taking home $100,000 in an event with a $2 million guarantee. He followed this up in May 2026 with a 2nd place finish, pocketing $160,000. Outside of poker, Vo is a business owner, and his table presence has earned him the nickname "Bad Boy," a moniker that started from his habit of warning opponents not to bluff him.
