Victor Chandler have signed up Roy ‘The Boy’ Brindley to join their poker team, but he has also been made Team Captain. Brindley will tour the world with the rest of the pros.
He will not have long to wait for his first outing as captain, The European Masters of Poker (EMOP) gets underway in less than two weeks time in Portugal, at the Casino Estoril.
As well as playing poker, and leading the teams, Brindley will also be on hand to teach other Victor Chandler players.
Head of Victor Chandler Poker, Andy Thorne, commented by saying, “We are very happy to have Roy “The Boy” captaining Team VC at EMOP and we are sure that his presence at the live events will have a positive effect on the performance of the Team VC players. Roy brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table and is highly capable of imparting sound advice and strategies as well as winning the odd event himself.”
Thorne went on to add, “Ultimately we wish for our players to have as enjoyable a time as possible at the EMOP events as well as to be given every opportunity to succeed and we have every confidence that Roy will make that wish a reality for all concerned.”
Brindley, 41, hails from Southampton, but now lives in Ireland. He is well known for his commentary on SKY Sports Poker Million, but if you want to more about the man who once lived off baked beans and sliced bread, then get a copy of his autobiography Life’s a Gamble. You will be able to find out about his love of poker and past gambling addiction, but ultimately it is a great read, and a great new singing for Victor Chandler Poker.
