Nicolas Dervaux - Pool to Poker | 2008 PokerStars.net EPT - Copenhagen

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 – 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.
