Aged just 23, this overnight sensation has put paid to the notion that all French players are Fronks! After only first taking to the poker table just over a year ago, the impressive Allain has already managed to leave his bank job and become a full-time pro.
Even more impressive than all of this though was Allain winning the Macau leg of the Asian Poker Tour, beating off the likes of JC Tran to scoop a massive $391,556 payday - after qualifying for the event through a $5 PKR satellite. Other notable scores include first places finishes in a variety of online PKR events, as well as a sixth place in the PKR Live II Main event.
If the French phenom continues to progress you can be sure to see many more big wins in the coming years.
