Farzad "Freddy" Bonyadi (born c. 1959) is an Iranian professional poker player based in Aliso Viejo, California, who has won four World Series of Poker bracelets.[1]

Bonyadi moved from Iran to America in 1983, where he worked as an executive host in the LA Commerce Casino and as a shift manager at Hollywood Park Casino.[citation needed]

Bonyadi first major tournament success came when he won the $2,000 limit hold'em event at the 1998 World Series of Poker (WSOP), defeating a final table that included Mimi Tran and John Cernuto on the way to a $429,940 first prize.[3] In the same WSOP, he also made the final table of the $1,500 seven card stud split event, and placed in the money in the $10,000 no limit hold'em main event.[4][5]

Bonyadi made a final table in the Season 2 World Poker Tour (WPT) Legends of Poker event, where he finished 5th at a final table featuring Mel Judah, Paul Phillips, T. J. Cloutier, Chip Jett and Phil Laak.[6] Bonyadi made a second WPT final table when he finished runner-up to Scott Seiver in the Season 9 WPT Championship, netting $1,069,900.[7]

At the 2018 WSOP, Bonyadi's mother, Farhintaj Bonyadi, won the $1,000 Super Seniors No Limit Hold'em event, making them the first mother/son World Series of Poker bracelet winners.[8]

As of 2023, his total live tournament winnings exceed $4,600,000.[9] His 31 cashes at the WSOP account for over $2,200,000 of those winnings.[1]
