Hamid Reza Dastmalchi (Template:Langx) is an Iranian-American professional poker player.

Dastmalchi finished in fifth place in the 1985 WSOP Main Event for a total prize of $70,000.[1] Dastmalchi won the 1992 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, which is his largest tournament win with a prize of $1 million.[2] He again made the final table of the Main Event in 1995, finishing in fourth place.[3]

Dastmalchi was involved in a legal dispute in 1999 with Binion's Horseshoe after the new management would not let him cash in $865,000 in chips he had won under the prior management. A gaming commission ultimately ruled the chips should be cashed.[4]

In his career, Dastmalchi has won three WSOP bracelets, his last victory coming in 1993.[2][5][6]

Dastmalchi's last major tournament cash came in 2002 in the World Poker Tour Five Diamond World Poker Classic.[7]
