The Hendon Mob

The Hendon Mob are a group of four professional poker players from London, England: Joe Beevers, Barny Boatman, Ross Boatman, and Ram Vaswani.

The name of the group was first publicised by the Evening Standard newspaper in September 2000.[1] Joe Beevers is the only member of the group who actually comes from Hendon, but the others played in Hendon.

The Mob first became recognised for their appearances on the televised poker programme Late Night Poker (1999–2002). The Hendon Mob also regularly attends the annual World Series of Poker and other major tournaments. They have dozens of in the money results between them. The Mob were used in series one of the British con-art documentary series 'The Real Hustle'. Presenters R. Paul Wilson and Alexis Conran, posing as poker novices filming a documentary, beat the Mob by smuggling in decks stacked to their advantage.[2]
