Record Three EPT Final Tables: Ram Vaswani's European Run
Among every statistic on Ram Vaswani's official site, one is singled out as a record: he is the only player to reach three EPT final tables. In the early years of the European Poker Tour, when fields were smaller and travel harder, that consistency was extraordinary.
The run includes his victory at the EPT Irish Masters in 2004, the season that also brought him three WSOP final tables in a single summer.
Final tables on the early EPT demanded complete games: limit and no-limit mixes, deep stacks, and long days against the strongest field in Europe.
- Three EPT final tables, a record highlighted in his official bio.
- EPT Irish Masters winner in 2004.
- Three WSOP final tables in the same year, 2004.
- Member of The Hendon Mob travelling the full European circuit.
| Milestone | Year | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| EPT Irish Masters win | 2004 | Tour title on the early circuit |
| Third EPT final table | 2004 era | Record no other player matched |
| Three WSOP final tables | 2004 | Same-season double pressure |
| WSOP title | 2007 | Bracelet completed the resume |
The record matters beyond the trophy count. Reaching three final tables on a young tour means outlasting the same elite field repeatedly, with no soft fields and no second chances in a re-entry era.
It also explains the nickname's affection: "Crazy Horse" played with visible joy, but the EPT record is the proof of discipline underneath the style, and it is the line his biography leads with to this day.
