Pascal Perrault (born 1959) is a French professional poker player, who specialises in tournament play. His nickname "Triple P" is short for Pascal "Poison" Perrault, a reference to his other profession as a pharmacist.
He first made the money in the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 1998, where he made the final table of the $3,000 No Limit Hold-Em tournament and won $14,250 after outlasting opposition including Liam Flood and Chris Ferguson.[1] The next year he finished on the final table again, outlasting the likes of Noel Furlong and Scotty Nguyen.[2]
Soon after he entered into the Late Night Poker television series, where he reached the semi-final in series 4 and the grand final in series 5.
He was voted Poker Personality of the Year in 2001 and was ranked #1 player in Europe in the same year.
In March 2005 he won the Vienna event of the European Poker Tour, taking home a €184,500 first prize.[3] Later, he made the Grand Final of the inaugural William Hill Poker Grand Prix, where he finished in 4th place.[4]
His girlfriend is fellow player Lise Vigezzi, with whom he has a daughter named Vegas.
As of 2014, his total live tournament winnings exceed $1,675,000.[5]
