The Hendon Mob

The Hendon Mob also regularly attends the annual World Series of Poker and other major tournaments.

Presenters R. Paul Wilson and Alexis Conran, posing as poker novices filming a documentary, beat the Mob by smuggling in decks stacked to their advantage.

[2] In 2004 and 2005, the Mob was sponsored by Prima Poker to the tune of $2 million worth of worldwide tournament buy-in fees.

As part of the tour, the Mob challenged four-player teams of various nationalities to heads-up matches, culminating with the UK versus the U.S. in the inaugural Prima Transatlantic Cup in 2004.

[5] The deal was reinstated when Full Tilt Poker reached an agreement with the U.S Department of Justice.
