Frenchman Guillaume Darcourt may call himself a businessman, but for the past few years, he has been posting the kind of results most professional poker players would be jealous of. Darcourt, who hails from Paris, had his first big breakthrough on his home turf when he made a deep run in the Partouche Poker Tour Grand Final in Cannes. Unfortunately for Darcourt, he missed out on the final table, finishing in 12^th place.

Two years later, Darcourt final tabled the Main Event of the French Open, finishing in seventh place, but it was his performance at WPT Bucharest during Season VIII that earned him his first major victory. Darcourt defeated a field of 161 runners in the €3,000 buy-in event and earned him €144,530.

That summer, Darcourt found WSOP success when he finished third in the $3,000 Triple Chance No Limit Hold’em event. The following year, Darcourt was back in the WSOP spotlight when he made a deep run in the 2011 Main Event. Sporting bright pink hair and a clear passion for the game, Darcourt drew plenty of attention as he made a deep run that resulted in a 35^th place finish.
