Ram Vaswani and the Hendon Mob: London's Travelling Poker Crew
The Hendon Mob is the most famous crew in British poker, and Ram Vaswani has been a member since the group's tournament days. The site's biography lists his Mob membership alongside his nickname "Crazy Horse" as a core part of his identity.
The Mob took its name from the London card-room scene and grew into a global travelling team of professionals. Its members shared stakes, stories and a reputation for fearless play in the biggest events in Europe and America.
When Ram won his WSOP title in 2007, the site celebrated the bragging rights over fellow Hendon Mob members Barny Boatman, Ross Boatman and Joe Beevers, a line that captures the friendly rivalry inside the group.
- Founded in London's live cash-game and tournament scene.
- Members travelled together to WSOP, EPT and WPT stops.
- Known for shared staking and honest table talk.
- Its results database became the reference record for live poker.
| Aspect | Hendon Mob tradition | Ram Vaswani's role |

Membership was earned at the table, not applied for. Playing alongside the Mob meant long sessions, shared hotel lobbies and the constant pressure of peers who read your game better than anyone else in the room.
For fans, the Mob connection explains much of Ram's schedule: the European Superbowl, the EPT stops and the WSOP summers all sit inside the same travelling calendar that defined his generation of professionals.
