Luis "El Nino" Milanes was born in Cuba. He owns Casinos Europa in San Jose Costa Rica and says work is his hobby. He started playing poker with his family. He considers himself to be lucky at the game, rather than good. Milanes is known to be imposing, unpredictable and sometimes even reckless at the poker tables. Milanes was the crowd-favorite at the Costa Rica Classic during Season 1 of the World Poker Tour. He went into the final table of that event with a commanding chip lead, five-to-one over second place. Milanes' luck ran out, however. He placed third at the event, winning more than $25,000.
