Barny Boatman plays online at Full Tilt Poker.

Before becoming a poker pro, Barny worked in countless jobs; from movie reviewer to chief computer programmer for a multinational company. He loves adventure and has always been a traveler, living and working in such disparate places as Barcelona, Hong Kong, and Sri Lanka.

In recent years, Barny has worked as a commentator for numerous televised poker tournaments, including Late Night Poker, The World Heads Up, The Poker Million, Poker Million the Masters, The Victor Cup, Celebrity Poker Club, The European Poker Tour, and The Poker Nations Cup. He has also recorded a television series called Barny's Home Games, a show in which he visits and plays in home games all around Great Britain. He'd love to do the same thing in the U.S.A. some time.

Along with the rest of the Hendon Mob, Barny runs thehendonmob.com, Europe's foremost poker portal. He's very proud of the site, mostly because their famous players database is visited by thousands of visitors from around the world every day.

Like most tournament players, Barny focuses mainly on No-Limit Hold 'em. He has been at the final table of many major events around the world, including the Master Classics, the European Open, the Irish Championships, the British Open, the Euro Finals of Poker, the Aussie Millions, and The Poker Million. His recent victories include the Finnish Open Championship.

Barny started out as a 7-Card Stud player and, in 1999, was Europe's top-ranked player. He topped the European Omaha rankings in 2000 and 2001, and won the European Championship 7-Card Stud event in 2002. Barny was Britain's top finisher in the World Series of Poker Main Event in both 2000 and 2001. In 2002, Barny set a new record by reaching three WSOP final tables in a row, earning him the award for outstanding tournament performance of the year.
