A year ago almost to the day, Francois Pirault was at the Club Poker Radio studio to discuss the circumstances of his victory over the Top Shark Academy. On paper, this feat of arms ensured him a year of presence within Team Winamax. But like others before him, On_The_Road will have the pleasure of making the pleasure last for another year, as he himself announced on Twitter.
If you were looking for an illustration of the adage that good news never comes alone, here is a perfect one! A few hours ago, François offered himself a loot of $622,762 by winning the podium in one of the first major online events of the year: America’s Cardroom Venom, a tournament at 2 650 $ of buy-ins and ten millions guaranteed endowment. The event, proclaimed by the room “Biggest event for US players in over a decade”, had previously generated a total of 3,782 entries within four days 1.
To understand how the original Nantes player managed to avoid bullets until this major blow, you have two options: the replay of the final table on Twitch, or reading the on Twitter for PokerNews because
mama913 stayed up late to tell his followers about the home stretch of the tournament. The opportunity to discover an important precision: second among the last eight survivors of the event, François first ensured half of his ICM via a deal before going to get the other half of his loot by climbing to third place. A smooth business!
