Nicolas Levi came across poker by accident, seven years ago, while he was studying computer science in the UK. On his laptop, Levi discovered “A totally different game. A mix of psychology and mathematics.” He said, “From the very first hand, I thought ‘this is the game for me’. Beating chance seemed a very exciting challenge.”
Since then, Levi has become a regular on the international poker scene, and never without his signature trilby hat. The Season 8 EPT Prague final is not his first. Way back in Season 3, Levi made the final of EPT Dortmund, finishing seventh place for € 85,700. He has also achieved numerous other deep runs; his four WSOP finals include fifth in the 2010 WSOP Europe Main Event for £208,119 and sixth in the $10,000 Pot-Limit Hold'em Championship for $114,525. Levi been based in the UK since 2000 – and in London for the last four years, although originally from Paris, France.
