Darius Samual is a poker player from the United Kingdom with more than $500,000 in live tournament earnings.
At the 2024 World Series of Poker, he won his first bracelet after prevailing over a field of 64 players in the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, where he had 50% of his bankroll on the line.
Samual, who said he only started playing "big tournaments" within the past six months, explained to PokerNews after his win that he doesn't specialize in any particular poker format but was eager to take a shot.
"I don't have an exact area, I just play for fun and making some money," Samual told PokerNews. "I basically put 50 percent of my bankroll on one tournament. I really wanted to go for it and this payout is like 95 percent of my poker money now. I took a shot!
"I think I was the only one who didn't care about the bracelet. I only cared about the money."
