Born on May 28, 1968, Annand "Victor" Ramdin is a member of Team PokerStars and one of the more amiable players on the circuit. He has amassed more than $2.8 million in tournament winnings including a first-place finish worth $1,331,889 in the 2006 World Poker Tour Foxwoods Poker Classic. Most recently, Ramdin claimed victory in the 2011 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $1,500 No Limit Hold'em event for $49,790.
Ramdin is also well-known for his charitable contributions that help benefit children in Guyana. In the past, Ramdin has donated 25% of his winning to philanthropic pursuits. If he were to claim the $500,000 first-place prize, he'd no doubt put it to good use.
