Seat 7: Tamer Kamel, 28, Willesden, London, UK - 960,000

Tamer Kamel
Tamer Kamel

Kamel is certainly the most local player at the EPT London final table – he lives only 15 minutes away in Willesden. He is a regular at the Vic, having played here ever since taking up poker three-and-a-half years ago and will be hoping to emulate the success of another Vic regular, Vicky Coren, who won EPT London in Season 3.

Kamel, who runs his family’s Icco Pizzeria in Goodge Street, plays both online and live. His best live result was sixth place in a GUKPT event at the Vic in 2011. Online it was $15,000 in a $109 rebuy event.

This is Kamel’s third EPT but first time in the money - he was out first day at EPT London last year and in Prague last December. He is getting married at the end of this year but unfortunately fiancee Lucy won’t be here to support him tomorrow – she flew off to Seville this morning to see her best friend.
