Julien Martini

The adrenaline of the High Stakes appeals to him, but Julien Martini wants more. Like many passionate players, the Frenchman has been dreaming of winning a bracelet in Las Vegas since he was a kid. The Corsican is putting the Cash Game on hold to concentrate on tournament poker. He will be rewarded as early as 2018.

From millions in Cash games to millions in MTTs

The harvest began at the WPT Elite Poker Champioonship festival, where he won the fifth stage at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, for 78,000 . A few weeks later, Julien realised his dream and won the WSOP bracelet in the $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo tournament. In the final heads up, he faced American Kate Hoang, who would later become his partner. At the end of the summer, he finished runner up in the EPT National Barcelona in front of 4,348 players, pocketing a win of $323,000, his record at the time.

This one won't last long. In January 2019, one of the biggest tournaments ever held in the world takes place: the PSPC Pokerstars Players Championship, in the Bahamas, at $25,000 per entry. Faced with the best players in the world, Julien Martini will take 2nd place, beaten only by Ramon Colillas. The Frenchman will still console himself with a €2,974,000 jackpot.

Newfound fame and the "Cash Game method"

His performance in the Bahamas brought him new notoriety. Having achieved one of the highest scores in the history of French poker, Julien Martini has established himself in the Top 10 of the French All-Time Money List.

During confinement, Julien Martini is working on a Master Class dedicated to medium- and high-limit online cash game players. "His Cash game method", tested and applied on more than 125,000 hands will be released in May 2021.

On his return to competition on the French circuit, Julien Martini made a name for himself in the summer of 2021 by winning the APO 500 at Cercle Clichy Montmartre.
