Olivier Busquet has risen to the top of live poker armed with his experience in competitive chess, a philosophy degree from Cornell University, and the skills he developed as a Wall Street trader.
His first major win was at the 2009 WPT Borgata Poker Open and he scored his biggest cash in the 2014 EPT Barcelona where he won the super high roller for $1,193,700 in heads-up against his own protege and good friend, Daniel Colman.
