A 27-year old VIP manager of an online cardroom, Pham is originally from Lyon, France, but moved to London three years ago where he now resides. Pham has been playing poker for several years now, but predominantly plays online with only occasional ventures live when the structure is deep.
A dominant performance throughout, Pham took over two million chips into the final, more than double his nearest competitor. Armed with an unrelenting aggressive style, he proceeded to eliminate four of the finalists.
At the conclusion of the event, Neil Channing awarded Pham the trophy and announced him as the first ever Black Belt London Live Champion. Pham was also the player who eliminated Channing, collecting a Black Belt Poker belt and photo as a bounty prize.
On behalf of Black Belt Poker, I'd like to commend Paul Pham on his win, and also thank everyone who attended the event. The event was played in good spirits with a friendly atmosphere throughout, and we're delighted to hear that so many people left with a smile on their face.
We look forward to seeing you next year in what will hopefully be the second Black Belt London Live. Until then, look after yourself, and each other.
Amazing performance, especially since there was no mention of a Paul Chan in any of your updates for the last two days.
