Prior to today, Kamel\u2019s largest score was for \u00a323,150 but just a couple of hours before he bought into the WPT National London Main Event, Kamel finished seventh in the EPT London Main Event for a cool \u00a379,950.<\/p>\n<p>That sizeable score seems to have relaxed Kamel who is in good spirits \u2013 and why wouldn\u2019t he be after winning \u00a380k \u2013 on the table behind us.
