Joe Beevers plays online at Full Tilt Poker.

Joe is the only person of The Hendon Mob who actually lives in Hendon. Joe used to play as part of a blackjack team that traveled around to various London-area casinos. It was while playing in a casino in Luton (26 miles from London) that Joe got invited to play in his first poker tournament. It was a $10 Stud re-buy event and Joe didn't fare particularly well. Joe became determined to learn and play better. He was at University at the time, studying finance, and by the time he left with his BA, he was making enough money not to go back into full-time work.

He traveled around Europe with Barny, Ram and Ross, playing in most of the major festivals and, in 1999, was invited to play in the first ever televised poker tournament, Late Night Poker. They set up thehendonmob.com as a contact point for poker sponsorship and the brand quickly became one of the best known in poker circles. They continued to attract media on both national and international levels, and became forerunners in corporate poker sponsorship.

Joe has had a fair amount of success in televised poker tournaments, making three of the six Late Night Poker final tables. He finished second in SKY TV's Poker Million - The Masters, second in the 2004 World Poker Championship in Dublin, and he also made the final table of the 2004 Victor Poker Cup.

His first major success was in the 1997 Master Classics of Poker, and he also won the 2001 Irish Prelim Open, the 2002 European Omaha Championship, the 2003 Irish Open, and the 2004 Four Queens Championship event. His best cash came in 2005 when he finished seventh in the World Poker Tour Championship event at the Bellagio, collecting $188,000. He also went deep in the 2005 World Series of Poker Championship, collecting $46,000.

2007 saw Joe’s best year to date. Playing in about 16 hand-picked tournaments, Joe managed to cash in nearly half of them, including a victory at the Great Britain Poker Tour’s Grand Final for £87,000. He followed that up with the first televised victory of his career, taking home $1 million in the Poker Million Grand Final broadcast on Sky TV.

In 2008, Joe became the only British player to qualify for the Great British poker team in three consecutive years, helping the team regain the Poker Nations Cup which they last won in 2006.

Married with twin girls, Millie and Lola, Joe likes to spend his time away from the table surrounded by family and friends, and watching live sporting events whenever possible.
