Russo, who hails from Naples, has been playing poker for the last five years with good results, including a final table at a tournament in Saint Vincent, as well as a positive performance in high stakes cash games. Russo might not be that well-known in Europe but he says he has been improving his game and he is now considered “someone to watch” on the Italian circuit. Russo just recently graduated in Economics from one of the most prestigious universities in Italy, the “Bocconi” in Milan. He’s now a pro player and, as well as poker, he is also keen on chess and backgammon. He’s planning to use his next poker winning to increase his bankroll and book a fantastic holiday.
