Anthony is a student in Computer Engineering who's been playing NLHE for three years. He doesn't want to play other variants saying he'd rather wait until he’s perfected Hold'em. His favorite hunting ground is the cash-game table, online at first (under the nickname ”nartoof”) and recently in Paris cardrooms. Since the French online gaming market was regulated in June 2010, Anthony has started playing more tournaments because, he explains, the fields on French websites are a bit easier to navigate. He played his first live tournament last December during the Forges-Les-Eaux stop of the PokerStars France Poker Series. That's when he decided he would play EPT Deauville. If Anthony wins tomorrow, he plans to buy a house and turn it into a night-club, complete with entry fee and all !
