Joe Hindry is an English poker player with over $1.22 million in live earnings who delivered one of the UK circuit’s most memorable back-to-back performances in early 2022 — winning the 888poker LIVE London Main Event for £60,000 in February, then returning weeks later to win the GUKPT Coventry Main Event for £93,460. Between those two victories, Hindry — who describes himself as primarily a cash game player who “doesn’t play as much anymore” — produced live tournament results that most dedicated circuit professionals wait a decade to achieve.

Biography & Poker Background
Hindry is an English player who describes himself as primarily a cash game specialist who plays tournaments selectively rather than constantly grinding the circuit. That framing makes his 2022 run all the more remarkable. In February, he entered the 888poker LIVE London Main Event at The Poker Room — formerly The Vic — and won it outright from a 602-player field for £60,000, his career-best at the time. Three of his four previous five-figure live cashes had also come from London events, suggesting the capital’s cardrooms suit his game particularly well.
Weeks later, he was at Coventry for the GUKPT Main Event. He hadn’t planned a big live schedule — he’d said after London that he was going to “choose his next tournament very carefully.” But Coventry was apparently the right one. He won that too, for £93,460, following a heads-up victory over Richard Ashby. The previous GUKPT Coventry title had been one of his childhood tournament dreams — he mentioned having visited the same venue aged 18 to play the Goliath, standing on the rail watching and wondering what it might be like to win there.
“I feel blessed,” he said afterwards. “It’s just mad.” He added that he doesn’t play as much anymore, preferring cash games, and that these two back-to-back wins represented everything he could have hoped for from a tournament schedule.
Play Style & Strategy
Hindry’s cash game background gives him a comfort in deep-stacked, post-flop situations that many tournament-focused players don’t develop as naturally. His London and Coventry victories both featured composed final-table play and effective heads-up aggression — hallmarks of a player who understands equity rather than simply following tournament-specific heuristics.
