PokerStars Username: "TheGrrr…"
A native of Quebec, Canada, Patry actually started his competitive career as part of the Quebec Junior Provincial Ski Team. By high school, Patry had already become the world’s premier Starcraft gamer and also the first-ever non-Korean professional gamer in South Korea. Residing in South Korea since 2000, he reached celebrity status in both the gaming and mainstream media of his adopted homeland. TheGrrr… gradually built his profile online, but it wasn’t until this year that he made the step into major live tournaments with appearances at the PokerStars.net APPT events in Manila and Seoul. He was a massive chip leader midway through Day Two of the APPT Macau: Asian Poker Open Main Event, but rode the roller coaster late in the day before consolidating his spot in the final nine. He is a member of Team PokerStars.
