Nicolas used to be a professional pool player and is currently ranked 18th in France. He also owns a pool hall but plays less now that he��s into poker. He is very proud of his pool achievements and slightly baffled by what he considers ��all the fuss�� about poker. He said: ��It��s easy. I just do it.�� He started playing online after a friend downloaded the software and explained the rules. He mainly plays cash games and always in turbo games where you have to move within five second decisions �C he gets bored if he has to wait more than a minute for a decision. The father-of-one has been a pro for two years. Best result so far was �15k in an online tourney. This is his first major live tournament. Most of his experience has been in online cash games.
