Welcome to The Committee page, please find below photographs and bios for the current Committee.
President - David 'Darv' Ranki: Dave has been betting on cards since the age of 5, and has been a regular poker player for over 7 years. Dave studies Maths and puts this ability to use in his first-class pot odds calculations. Dave has an uncanny knack of being eliminated on the second from last table in huge Tournaments, and is always second from last out of bed behind only Andreas! Hailing from London Dave is a huge Arsenal fan, demonstrated by his near 18-hour a day Sky Sports News addiction.
Vice-President - Paul 'The Towel' Stonehouse: Paul studies Physics, however in this instance 'studies physics' can easily be substituted for 'drinks loads of Stella' and 'watches lots of TV'.
Secretary - Daryl 'Two Pennies' Walker: Daryl's greatest success playing poker was not actually thanks to anything even closely resembling skill; after being dealt a straight flush 9-K Diamonds in a Casino Stud Poker game, he walked away with just over £21,000! He has, however, had accomplishments in the skillful form of the game; recording a famous success in a casino multi-table Texas Hold'Em Tournament. Daryl studies Physics, loves WWE, is a keen golfer with a handicap of 15, he supports Manchester United, and is a wine buff, currently planning a procurement tour of the Bordeaux region this summer... He is often found telling fellow players to know their role, shut their mouths, and listen to the millions... and millions of Two Pennies' fans chanting his name.
Treasurer - Andreas 'The Doctor' Papakyriakou: Andreas had the auspicious honour of being the first Committee Member to play in a European Poker Ranking Event. He has a good record in Committee poker games, but is truly unbeatable when it comes to sleeping! Andreas studies Economics and dreams of working for a large Bank in the vicinity of Amsterdam. Andreas' hometown is Edinburgh and he supports Hearts.
Communications and Publicity Director - Christian 'Snipsanator' Harris: Christian is known by many as 'The Entertainer' mostly due to his tendancy to make "crazy raises" with nothing cards, his showboating style and his astonishingly silly bluffs. Christian studies French and enjoys golf, playing off a rather dodgy 15. He also boasts a reputation as a Celebrity Stalker. He is a WWE fanatic and has attended the last two Wrestlemanias; in Seattle and NYC respectively. Owing to his ability in French and his erratic, reckless, attacking playing style, Christian's favourite poker phrase is 'Tapis!' (French for all-in!).
Tournament Director - Fraser 'Pablo' Daun: Fraser recorded a great success in the 2004 Spring Dundee Poker Festival by outlasting over 20 other players to win his Super Satellite and gain a place in the £500 Double Chance Tournament where he competed alongside many of the game's best-known names.
