Olivier Busquet

The players continue to arrive and Olivier Busquet has taken his seat on Table 8 just before the break.
He is now sharing the felt with the likes of Nick Palma, Mike Azzaro and Luke Vrabel on Table 8 so there will certainly be no shortage of action.

To say Busquet is one of the most experienced players in the field could be an understatement. His poker resume reads more like a novel boasting tournament cashes all around the world.

Busquet added his first Foxwoods World Poker Finals title to his long list of accomplishment taking down the $5,000 High Roller NLH event for over $27,000.

He has now earned more than $8,000,000 throughout his career and will surely be one to keep an eye on as the tournament progresses.
