Christian Harder born in 1987 is a professional poker player from the United States. Harder was born in Maryland and has developed a friendship with Michael Phelps, the decorated Olympic athlete. They have partied together in numerous places including Las Vegas, Maryland and South Carolina. Harder is also very active on social media and 2+2.

Much of this came prior to Black Friday as charder30, who goes by charder30 online, is known for his work ethic and grinding ability. He still travels to Canada so he can play in the largest tournament series. He has 1 WCOOP title to his name, which occurred in 2008 where he won nearly $25,000 in a Pot Limit Omaha with Rebuys event.

Harder has also had a very successful live tournament career with about $3,2 million in earnings, despite having not taken down a major event and having relatively few cashes at the World Series of Poker. Harder’s largest cash came in 2009 at the World Poker Tour Championship where he placed 4th for well over $500,000. While Harder doesn’t have any major wins to his credit, he has been a very successful player through the years and is ranked in the top 100 in the Global Poker Index.
