Tamer Kamel is a 30-year old semi-professional poker player from the UK.
When he’s not making WPT final tables he can be found running the ICCO Pizzeria in London, where he has his name above the door.
Married, and with a BA (Hons) from Manchester University, Kamel is of Egyptian/Scottish descent. He started playing poker, four years ago, after suffering a career threatening knee injury whilst undertaking a trial for an Egyptian professional football team.
Kamel has earned $720,392 in live tournament earnings, during those four years, and his two biggest scores to date have both come in the UK. In 2013, he finished fifth in the UKIPT High Roller in London for $172,144, and seventh in the EPT London Main Event for $120,311.
The man who ‘thanks God everyday for what he has been blessed with,’ would like to use poker as an opportunity to help others in the world who are less fortunate that he is. After recently visiting a friend in Honduras, who does help those who are less fortunate, he vowed to return to help him, and two months later he is in line to win ￡200,000.
Kamel cruised to the final table after amassing 1.7m as early as Level 16 when he eliminated three players in a five minute spell he will never experience again. He starts the day third in chips.

His tremendous success in 2014 has not been lost on the poker media with three nominations at the soon to be held British Poker Swards for Best Online Player of the Year, Breakout Player of the Year, and Performance of the Year - and that’s not including a potential WPT title!
Leonard will start the final table as the second shortest stack.

The 27-year old has been playing poker for a decade, and during that time he has earned over half a million in live tournament earnings, and $2.4m in online tournament earnings. The man known as kidcardiff gave himself that nickname after attending University in the Welsh capital, and in 2010 he climbed to number one in the UK online tournament rankings.
Warrington’s largest live score to date was a fourth place finish at EPT Prague in 2012 for $326,772, and this is his second WPT cash after finishing 22nd in WPT Caribbean in Season XII.
