Early years

Vamplew had a job delivering newspapers and worked as a lifeguard when at Inverkeithing High School.[2] He worked in a supermarket when in university. At the same time he was playing and studying poker and decided to make his living by the game. In 2009 Vamplew graduated with a maths degree and gave poker a serious shot.

Poker career

David Vamplew is considered one of the most successful poker players in the UK. He began his career with a WSOP tournament. Then he won the EPT Season 7 London "No Limit Hold'em - Main Event", for more than $1,400,000.[3] He primarily plays higher buy-in international tournaments, as well as smaller local UK events on occasion.

Vamplew has 1 EPT Main Event title, plus more than 30 money finishes in other EPT events. He won the 2010 EPT Main event at the age of 23, having only one other cash prior. After battling a field of 848 poker players, he defeated John Juanda in a five-hour final heads-up duel. After winning it Vamplew said about Juanda: "He got really unlucky, that's it.".[4] The prize money from the EPT title took Vamplew to the number one spot on the Scottish all-time money list.[5][6]
