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

Originally from East London, Kassam started playing poker as a teenager with friends before his competitive instincts took over. His early cash at a WPT warm-up event at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottingham — £35,000 as a law student at the University of Nottingham — announced him as a player to watch. He has described how difficult it was initially to be taken seriously at the table given his age.

Away from the felt, Kassam built a career in the online poker industry as a VIP account manager, developing an understanding of the business side of poker that has informed his approach to the game. He subsequently relocated to Australia for a period, becoming a regular at the Aussie Millions and WSOP International Circuit events, as well as at the Club Marconi in Sydney. He now competes globally and is consistently active across the European festival circuit, particularly the EPT and WSOPE.

His 218 live cashes make him one of the highest-volume players on this list — a testament to commitment to the game and international reach that few UK players match.

Play Style & Strategy

Kassam is a technically disciplined tournament player who performs across a wide range of buy-in levels, from sub-$1,000 events to $25,000 high rollers at EPT Monte Carlo. His 2024 Wynn result — a sixth-place finish in the $10,400 Main Event for $457,511 — confirmed his ability to compete and run deep in major US events. His volume of cashes across multiple continents reflects a player who adapts well to different fields and structures.
