Seat 7: Tamer Kamel, 28, Willesden, London, UK - 960,000
Kamel is certainly the most local player at the EPT London final table �C 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 �C she flew off to Seville this morning to see her best friend.
