Real Name: Gordon McArthur
Username: GiMacBlueBlood
Gordon more commonly known on the poker circuit as GiMac seems to have been around forever, but he only took up the game in 2006. He lost his cherry playing online and has amassed nearly $400k in online cashes, one of the highlights was making the final table of the Tribeca $100k guaranteed weekly game three weeks in a row.
He soon progressed to the live felt cutting his teeth in Newcastle’s local tournament and cash game scene and has final tabled GUKPT, GCBPT, European Deepstack, 25/25 Series and APAT events and in 2015 had a deep run in the Sky UKPC finishing 15th of 1002 runners. A former Captain of the APAT Scotland team, he is a great lover of mixed games and if there is a choice between NLHE or a variety of mixed games then GiMac will plump for the latter more often than not.
GiMac is a single dad of two teenage girls, after his wife passed away following a battle with Leukaemia. He also has two Labradors. This alone would keep most people busy but he has a full time career working in asset finance for a London based privately owned bank covering their North of England and Scotland region.
Gordon has been with Blueblood for a long time now, he is a liked and highly respected member of the team. He is always friendly at the table and is more than happy to offer advice or assistance to players less experienced than himself and always looking to learn from those who have more experience, so say hello if you meet him.
