Léo Lombardozzi (Ya 2 ecoles)

He's one of the new attractions on the French poker scene. Prolix, funny and inventive, Ya2Ecoles has made a name for himself on online poker rooms. For his cash game games, but also for winning the Top Shark Academy, joining Team Winamax during the confinement season.

His phrasing, vocabulary, wigs and inimitable style delighted the poker community during containment. Since 2019, Leo Lombardozzi aka Ya 2 Ecoles has been particularly present on social networks, publishing a number of videos in which he comments in a more or less serious manner on poker hands played in online rooms. "Hand of the week", "Spew or Not Spew", "Hero" have enabled Ya 2 Ecoles to become known to the general public, he who was only a little-known cash game player just a few years ago.

Cash Game and Spin For Win

A Sit & Go player when he turned 18, Ya 2 Ecoles was introduced to the game by a flatmate, who played the high Cash Game tables on Winamax. The young player started on NL 20 and gradually climbed the ladder until he settled on NL 400.

In 2018, Leo Lombardozzi embarked on the SpinForWin adventure, a poker improvement website, alongside Maxime Lemaitre, better known as Batmax. He then became a coach himself and started creating video poker content. He rubbed shoulders with a number of professional players who helped him improve his MTT game. Ya 2 écoles then began a transition to tournament play. He was soon rewarded at the 2019 Top Shark Academy, a competition bringing together talented grinders, with the prize of a year's contract to join the Winamax Pro Team.

Top Shark Academy

Luck smiled on him during this edition and Ya 2 Ecoles landed the famous sesame. It was there that he produced the various video series, to the point of making a name for himself in the community. Unfortunately for him, this year was marked by the end of the Live circuit, so the newcomer to the Team didn't play any tournaments with the W Logo. Moreover, his Live record is very poor compared to his level in online rooms.

Not renewed the following year, Ya 2 Ecoles persevered in the creation of poker content and continued to grill the cash game tables. With the hope of bouncing back, by developing the creation of videos around poker but also by working on his game to finally reveal himself on Live tournaments.
