Ross Boatman
Ross "Rocky" Boatman was born in Archway, England and still lives there
with his wife and child. Ross Boatman is an actor who for the past
eight years has starred in England's most popular TV drama, "London's
Burning". When he's not acting, Ross is traveling the world playing
tournaments with his colleagues in the Hendon Mob - a group composed
of Ross, his older brother Barny, Joe Beevers, and Ram Vaswani. The Mob
play under the sponsorship of Prima Poker and have done well for their
backers with combined career winnings over $3.7 million. Ross admits it
was his older brother, Barny, who got him started playing poker when
they were young and Barny was supposed to be babysitting little Ross.
One night, Ross was finally allowed to sit down in big brother's poker
game, and after winning several big pots Ross was hooked on the game
for life.
Ross Boatman's poker career is definitely not another
acting performance - he's accumulated over $660,000 from tournaments
all over the world. Some of Ross's cashes in tournament poker include:
2nd place in the 2000 Vienna Spring Festival European WSOP Trial worth
$36,810, 2nd place in the Late Night Poker Series 2 Grand Final worth
$20,799, 2nd place in the 2002 British Open Royal Jubilee Cup worth
$61,820, 1st place in the 2002 European Poker Classics No Limit Hold
'em event worth $115,944, and 2nd place in the 2003 Midland Masters
tournament taking home $40,866. Recently, Ross had 4 cashes at the 2005
WSOP, but none in any big money - it should be noted, however, that
considering the monster entry fields of the 2005 WSOP events, just
cashing in them proves superior tournament playing ability. You can
