Pierre Calamusa (LeVietF0u)

He likes heavy barbells, big pints and big river breezeblocks. Dangerous at the poker tables, friendly away from them, Pierre Calamusa has brought a great deal of talent and freshness to the French poker scene. The Grenoble native has initiated numerous media projects within Team Winamax and for his own personal channel, but he has made a name for himself above all for his smashing performances.

Pierre Calamusa is following the classic path of the new generation: enrolment in higher education, disappointment in courses and revelation on the online poker tables. After a few months, the native of Isère left his business school to devote himself fully to his favourite game. Under his pseudonym 'LeVietF0u', Pierre won just about every tournament offered on the Winamax lobby and quickly showed great aptitude. For both poker and gambling. In his youth, he was known for being a good party companion and for his dubious bankroll management.

Team Pro and early blitz

Joining Team Winamax in 2015 was to take him into a new dimension. As soon as he arrived, he won the Winamax Poker Open in Dublin, for €70,000. He confirmed this in 2016 by reaching his first EPT final table in Monte Carlo, with a good 4th place for €233,800. The following years were not marked by any resounding successes, but LeVietF0u maintained a fine consistency on the Live and Online circuit.

Also, he is gradually shedding the image of the night-time troublemaker to become a personality whose fantasy but also discipline is appreciated. Pierre Calamusa shares his routines, sports training and hobbies, through Winamax video content but also for his personal channel. Very active on the networks, he takes part in innovative content, in particular the 'Make Your Bankroll Great Again' Challenge. For almost a month, Pierre streams each of these sessions to illustrate the challenges that surround the daily life of a low-limit player looking to build up his bankroll.

WSOP and Winamax Series

Back in the thick of things, Pierre Calamusa will be particularly sharp at the 2019 WSOP. He plays his first final table in the $5,000 6-max, reaching 4th place for $219,468, while fellow Team Winamax member Joao Vieira goes on to win the tournament. The entire tournament and Pierre's commentary were recorded by Winamax cameras for the now famous "In the Head of a Pro" series.

LeVietF0u would also crack down online a few months later at the Winamax Series. No bottle this time, but an anthology 2nd place in the festival's biggest tournament, the 4 Million Event. Beaten by Dr.Bayard, the Team Pro cashed for €291,632, the biggest win of his career.

Now based in Portugal, Pierre Calamusa continues to be active on the tables as well as on the networks. His new video projects, his taste for sports betting and his lifestyle are followed with interest by the community, which hopes to see LeVietF0u continue his rise to the top of world poker.
