Paul Kemsley - Who is he???

[Jimany]

Been watching some of the FTP million dollar cash game on youtube and damn this guy is doing my head right in. Reraising with J-4/J-7, he can't seem to fold a hand. Gus is a tight player in comparison (& sitting on the same table). Sitting down with 7-8 top pro's and theyre trying to pick him off. He just sent Mattusow on major tilt when he beat his A-J with J-4. Looks like some novice with lots of money to burn. Anyone heard of him/know his story?

Paul Kemsley, or “PK” as he likes to be called is a self-made man who has made much of his money from property. He runs Rock Investments which incidentally is half owned by Joe Lewis through a vehicle called Rapallo, of which a certain Daniel Levy is an executive director. He recently found himself in the business pages due to a particularly impressive deal, where he and HSBC made a profit of more than £30 million in just five months. Rock bought and then sold the Grade I-listed former headquarters of Midland Bank on Poultry in the City of London, whose vaults featured in the James Bond film Goldfinger in 1964 (see The Times for more info). He has this week seen his name bandied about again on speculation that he is involved in buying a chunk of a company building property around the new Wembley Stadium (see this in the FT for more info on that deal).
