Like many people, Julien discovered poker watching the movie “Rounders” in 2006.. He started by playing micro-stakes online cash-games and then slowly moved up the ranks. He is now a regular at the €5/€10 tables under the user id “Garrincho”. He mainly plays NLHE but also took up PLO recently. After completing his engineering studies 18 months ago, Julien decided to make the leap towards professional poker. His best results to date are victory in a €100,000 guaranteed online tournament and an 11th place finish at the Spanish Poker Tour final stop in 2010. During Day 5 of EPT Deauville, Julien knocked his good friend Fabrice Soulier. Apart from poker, Julien loves football - especially Zinedine Zidane and the French team ‘AS Nancy’.
