Player Profile: Michel St Pierre
Hometown: Quebec, Canada
Chip Count 149,500
The sole North American to make the final table of the APPT Seoul main event, Michel St Pierre is originally from Repentigny in Quebec, Canada but now resides in Montreal. A contractor who works in property development, he has been playing poker for about three years and has considerable experience in a number of major Canadian poker tournaments. The 29-year-old qualified for the long trek from the east coast of Canada to East Asia via a $109 buy-in tournament on PokerStars, where he holds 'Gold Star' status. St Pierre is hoping the “jouissance” (enjoyment) he’s been experiencing in South Korea will continue all the way to the APPT Seoul title.
