Gabriel Dragomier
Romania
Gabriel Dragomier is a Romanian professional poker player who won the UKIPT London Series 2 event in June 2013, earning £16,480. His victory at the Hippodrome Casino remains his most notable live tournament cash. Dragomier's limited public record suggests a low-profile but skilled player.
Overview
Gabriel Dragomier (also listed as Gabriel Dragomir in tournament records) is a Romanian poker player who achieved his most notable live tournament success in 2013. While his overall tournament results are not extensively documented, his win in a major PokerStars-sponsored event places him among the few Romanian players to claim a UKIPT title.
Major Achievement: UKIPT London Win
Dragomier's headline accomplishment came at the UK & Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) London Series 2, held from June 28–30, 2013, at the PokerStars LIVE London venue inside the Hippodrome Casino. The event had a buy-in of £250 + £25 and attracted 478 players, generating a total prize pool of £115,915. Dragomier emerged victorious, claiming the top prize of £16,480. He defeated a final table that included notable players such as Paul Zimbler (second place, £8,000) and Patrik Meca (third place, £8,000). The final table was deep-stacked with a payout structure that awarded £8,000 to places 2 through 9, reflecting a flat payout structure near the top.
Playing Style
Based on the limited information available, Dragomier appears to employ a solid, fundamentals-based approach. His UKIPT win suggests he can navigate large fields and handle the pressure of deep runs. However, without hand histories or extensive coverage, a detailed analysis of his style is not possible.
Online and Other Results
There is no publicly available record of significant online tournament victories or other live cashes for Gabriel Dragomier beyond the 2013 UKIPT London win. It is possible that he competes under a different alias online or that his subsequent results have not been widely reported. The Hendon Mob database lists his name only for that event. Notably, a player named Catalin Dragomir (also from Romania) cashed in the same tournament, finishing 14th for £1,305, suggesting a possible family connection.
Legacy
Gabriel Dragomier remains a relatively obscure figure in the poker world, with his UKIPT win serving as a footnote in the tour's history. Nevertheless, his victory demonstrates that Romanian players can succeed on the international stage, even if they do not achieve widespread fame. His achievement is a testament to the depth of talent in emerging poker markets.
