Dimitri Pembroke

Dimitri Pembroke, 33, works in IT and describes himself as “just an amateur” who likes to play the odd festival here and there, exclusively Texas Hold’em events. They’ve included UKIPT stops in Dublin and Cork, but his best live cash to date is €15,500 won on the 2011 Celtic Poker Tour in Carlow where he finished 2nd. He’s already bested that by making the final here in Galway, but says he’s not anxious about the opposition on the final, just, “more worried about being short stacked!” He doesn’t plan too far in advance either tactics-wise or as to his next live poker tournament, but his ease at the table makes his claims to total inexperience seem somewhat modest.
