Biography & Poker Background
Hynam’s Hendon Mob record begins in September 2019, making him one of the most recent entrants to competitive live poker among UK players at this earnings level. His early results were modest - a scattering of five-figure scores through 2022, including a fourth-place finish at the GUKPT London Main Event for £24,995 - but the trajectory has been steep.
2025 was a breakthrough year by any measure. He won the Irish Poker Tour Galway Main Event in January for €83,600, then flew to Las Vegas for the summer WSOP series. Over eight weeks he cashed in the $25,000 High Roller, placed fourth in the WPT Seminole Showdown for $285,000, finished 49th in the Main Event for $200,000 and then won his bracelet in the final event of the series - the $1,000 Super Turbo - for $237,924. The bracelet came in dramatic fashion: Hynam had made three deep runs in the same six-week stretch and closed out the summer with the gold.
He had previously cashed the 2023 WSOP Main Event for $40,000. In two editions of the event he has gone deeper each time.
Play Style & Strategy
Hynam is a versatile tournament player who performs across formats from low-buy-in festival events to $25,000 high rollers. His Super Turbo bracelet win requires rapid adaptation to shallow-stacked play and high-frequency all-in decisions - a completely different skillset from the deep-stacked grind of the Main Event, where he also excels. That range signals an unusually complete game for a player still early in their career.
