Tony Pruvot’s passion for poker started about a year and a half ago when his friend introduced him to the game. He has always enjoyed playing cards so poker fit in perfectly. Currently Tony works for an international sports apparel company and enjoys playing both live and online. He particularly favours No Limit Texas Holdem and admits to playing more tournaments than ring games. Tony’s biggest poker success to date is “without hesitation, winning the $12,500 Aussie Millions Freeroll package.” When he first found out the good news, he “almost woke everyone in the building.” Aside from poker, the Frenchman enjoys watching sports including gymnastics and martial arts. This will be Tony’s first experience playing in a major tournament and also his first trip to Australia. We wish Tony and the rest of Team PokerNews the very best of luck at the 2008 Aussie Millions.
