Pennsylvania Man Outlasts Poker Pros In Online No Limit Hold’em Tourney

BetHoldem Player Beats The Hendon Mob

BetHoldem.com customer Thomas P. of Pennsylvania entered last week’s “Beat The Mob” tournament with one objective and after pulling pocket queens in the final hand, his goal was realized. Thomas outlasted 397 other poker players in the PrimaPoker tournament and took home more than the $1990 prize – he left knowing he had taken down the entire Hendon Mob, the hottest professional poker team in the world.

“I entered the tournament for the sole purpose of playing against The Hendon Mob. After watching Barney Boatman play in the World Series of Poker, I wanted to test my poker skills against him,” said Thomas P. “I joined BetHoldem.com because of the opportunity to compete in online tournaments versus some of poker’s best. Winning the cash prize was a great, but beating Barney made the victory that much sweeter.”

Throughout his tournament run Thomas played tight but aggressive whenever he had a good hand. The turning point came when he went all-in with pocket nines and was called by a player holding ace queen. In his final hand, Thomas held pocket queens and was called on pocket threes, giving him the tournament championship and credit for taking down the entire Hendon Mob.

“We’re excited about Thomas’ accomplishment and proud to tell the world that one of our own took down The Hendon Mob,” said Mark Thompson, manager of the BetHoldem.com poker room. “Beating the Mob shows everyone that Thomas has the ability to beat the pros and who knows, maybe he’ll be the next Internet player to capture the WSOP title.”
