Francois Billard Taking a Shot
Level 4
: 300/600, 600 ante
Francois Billard has had a decent summer and is looking to do some damage on home soil. The Canadian just came back from Barcelona after coming in 2nd place in the €10,300 No Limit Hold'em 8-Max event for €253,600. He battled with the likes of Ivan Luca, David Peters, Martin Jacobson and Liv Boeree on the final table, eventually falling to Goran Mandic heads-up.
Billard just booked a min-cash in the $5,300 High Roller here at Playground last week and looks to book a win in his home country.
