This feat earned him a whopping $45,000 bonus prize back in June 2007 and has yet to be repeated by any Blue Square Player. A worthy entry to the Hall of Fame I’m sure you will agree.

| Soon after launch back in September 2004, Khayam was one of the original draft of players to join Blue Square Poker, and has many highlights on his poker CV to date. He was one of the first ever Blue Square players to win a live tournament satellite when he headed to Barcelona for the World Heads Up Poker Championships in 2005 and followed this up by also qualifying for a special GB v Ireland Charity Heads Up competition in Dublin during 2006. Trumping this he won not one but TWO $13,000 packages for the 2007 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas where he shared some TV time with former champion Joe Hachem. On top of his satellites successes there have also been numerous final table finishes in big online cash tournaments. I’m sure there will be more to come as well. | |

Significant poker achievements: Still to come….. winning big as a Blue Square sponsored player!!! Favourite starting hand: AA (does anyone seriously prefer an alternative?) |
George Annan is comfortably the most successful player to have graced the monthly Blue Square Tournament League and anyone who has taken part will recognise the nickname “BIGVRAJI” from the old software as well as his new moniker of “SCHOPENHAUER”. During 2006 he went through a spell where he could do no wrong and won back to back league titles, only to get narrowly beaten into 2nd place while shooting for the third in a row. One of these victories was completed with a record points total and winning margin, including no less than 4 outright victories in the qualifying events that month. On top of these feats he is a consistent performer in Sit & Go tournaments as well as taking his fair share of respectable finishes in various large field network-wide events. | |
