Early life
[edit]Philip was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.[4]
Career
[edit]Philip used to work an IT/software job until he had become successful enough at poker and suffered a back injury which meant he had quit in 2010. After leaving Edinburgh, Scotland for a short time to travel for poker tournaments, he chose being a poker player as a full time profession.[5]
He was later removed from Team PokerStars Online on 17 June 2014, allegedly due to his behavior at an event in Marbella, Spain.[6][7]
As of now, Philip is a YouTube travel vlogger and has visited more than 50 countries.[8]
In June 2020, he posted a TikTok video of him bargaining for a street snack (Sutarfeni) in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India which created a debate online.[9]
In January 2021, Philip was booked in Kerala, India by Munnar District Forest Officer (DFO) for entering the Munnar forest without permission and wearing the incorrect clothing.[10]
Philip went to Clifton Beach, Karachi, Pakistan, in May 2022, where he was allegedly 'cheated' by horsemen there, about which he later posted a video on social media with the title "avoid this horse ride scam".[11][12][13] In response to this, Karachi Police arrested the horseman within hours.[14][15][16]
