Deep Stack Extravaganza III No Limit Hold'em |
$300 | 12th | 451 | $1,436 |
Nicolas “Nick” Yunis is a professional poker player who made his first live-event cash in 2008. In the first 4 years, Nick cashed 17 times, made 7 final tables, cashed in a WSOP event, and earned over $306,000.
Nick was born in 1985 in Chile and his family moved to Miami in 1996. After he turned 21, he lived in Las Vegas where he pursued his poker career, and in 2011 moved to Bergen, Norway.
In 2008, Nick had his first live cash in Las Vegas at the Deep Stack Extravaganza, where he finished 12th in the $300 NLHE to earn $1,436. He didn’t cash again until 2010, when his only cash of the year was making the money in a $1,000 NLHE event at the WSOP.
Although his cashes had been few and far between for the previous couple of years, Nick cashed 13 times in 2011. He started the year with a string of 6 EPT cashes. In San Remo, he cashed twice, finishing 16th in the €5,000 NLHE Main Event to earn €30,000. He then cashed twice at the EPT Grand Final Madrid, where he took 3rd in the €2,000 NLHE 8-Max Bounty event for €11,800. At the EPT Barcelona, he cashed twice, finishing 3rd for €13,100 in the €2,000 NLHE Turbo Bounty, and taking 5th in the €1,000 NLHE to earn €15,400.
When Nick attended an event, he was consistently cashing more than once, and the 2011 Partouche Poker Tour Main Event in Cannes was no exception. He finished 20th for €4,000 in the €1,500 NLHE, and finished 4th in the €3,000 NLHE to earn €35,000.
At the EPT/UK & Ireland Poker Tour London, Nick cashed 3 times in €1,000 events. He made the final table in all 3 events, finishing runner-up in the last one to collect £15,700. He ended the year by cashing at the EPT San Remo, and at the Rock and Roll Poker Open in Hollywood, Florida.
In January 2012, Nick was the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure, where he cashed twice. After cashing in the $1,000 NLHE Survivor event, he won a satellite entry to the $25,000 High Roller 8-Max event. He busted out in the first three levels, but as luck would have it, the High Roller was a re-entry event. While walking through the poker room, he happened upon the last High Roller single table satellite that needed one more player to get underway. On a whim, Nick signed-up and won another entry –putting him back in the High Roller event to try again. At the end of Day 1, he was the chip leader, but just missed the final table when he ended up in 9th place to collect $79,770.
When he takes a break from playing poker live and online at PokerStars, Nick enjoys going out with his friends, Salsa Dancing, and going to comedy clubs.
