Originally from the Lake District, UK, I’ve spent the last few years living and breathing the Southeast Asian poker circuit. Since 2025, I’ve been a fixture on the floor at the APT, PokerStars, and WSOP events, serving as a lead reporter and media specialist for Somuchpoker. My work is about more than just recording action; I manage the social media and digital content that brings action rail to the fans. By combining a business education and creative background, I aim to look past the technical hand histories to capture the actual human grit and drama that happens during a deep run.

Biography & Poker Background

Lindop grew up in Stoke-on-Trent — the same hometown as Lucy Rokach — and spent five years travelling to Las Vegas for the WSOP before his breakthrough arrived. At 25, in July 2015, he entered Event 59, a $1,500 NLH with 2,154 runners, and ran it down to a heads-up against French amateur Aurelian Guiglini, whom he defeated holding a 3-to-1 chip lead to claim $531,037 and the UK’s second bracelet of that summer. His final table featured Jamie Gold — making a prominent return to the WSOP nine years after winning the 2006 Main Event for the biggest WSOP payout on record — who was eliminated in fifth.

He has since added an APT Kickoff Vietnam title and continued to compete internationally across Asia and Europe, appearing at APT events through to 2025.
