Ram Vaswani Poker
Paul Seaton - January 22, 2020 The Aussie Millions is an iconic part of poker history and is as popular with players today as it ever has been. Do you know your Aussie Millions history? From Gus Hansen to Toby Lewis, via some of the best players in the world, the history of Aussie Millions will fill you with excitement for All Ram Vaswani.
Ram ‘Crazy horse’ Vaswani is the youngest member of The Hendon Mob, and he is the only player who has made it to four EPT final tables. Also referred to as ‘The Looker’ by members of the fairer sex – he is considered to be the best looking of the ‘Mobsters’ – Vaswani holds a single WSOP bracelet which he won in 2007.
- This English poker player also earned himself a title of 'The Looks' as the youngest and probably the most gorgeous of all 'The Hendon Mob' with Joe Beevers, Barny and Ross Boatman as members of this popular poker group. Now married to Jackie, while living in Finchley with daughter Hollie, Ram Vaswani is among the promising European players today.
- He is none other than Ram Vaswani, a regular on the poker circuit. Originally an English professional snooker player, Vaswani is the first and till today, the only person to reach 4 European Poker Tour (EPT) final tables. He won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in 2007, in the $1,500 Limit Hold’em Shootout event.
- Ram Vaswani (born c. 1970 in London) is an English professional snooker player, turned professional poker player and the youngest member of The Hendon Mob.He resides in Finchley 1 with his wife Jackie and daughter Hollie.
Vaswani was a gambling junkie from a very early age, and his antics often got him into trouble with authority figures. He organised a low stakes poker game with friends whilst on a school trip to Wales, but was stopped by the irate teaching staff – he was only 12 at the time!
He met Joe Beevers while wagering on dog racing at Luton, and it wasn’t long before the two had set up a private poker game. It was here that they met the other two members of what would become The Hendon Mob – brothers Barney and Ross Boatman.
His first major win was at the HFI 5000 Lido Tournament at the Masters Classics of Poker in Amsterdam, and he has Beevers to thank for it. Vaswani was so broke that he had to borrow money to stake in a cash game so that he could build up the funds for the buy-in!

He currently holds the record for the player who has made it to the most final tables on the EPT:
- He won the Dublin event
- He finished runner-up to Noah Boeken in Copenhagen
- He finished 5th in Deauville
- He finished 8th in the main event of Season 3.
Vaswani was runner-up at the 2006 William Hill Poker Grand Prix, but apart from the fact that he finished behind Phil Laak, he was consistently referred to the 'best player in the field' by commentator, Lucy Rokach. The field included former world champion, Scotty Nguyen and WSOP bracelet winners Donnacha O’Dea and Brian Wilson.
To date Vaswani has won over $3 million dollars in prize money.
