Scotland's top tournament money winner, the man known to most as 'Firaldo' discovered his love for poker while completing his law degree. He has earned over $10m in tournament cashes online and live since he made the decision to pursue poker full time.

Niall Farrell has had a successful career in poker with multiple six-figure wins. In 2013, he began his journey when he competed in the 44th World Series of Poker. He finished in a respectable second place in the $3,000 No Limit Hold'em event. Two years later, he placed 8th in the $111,111 No Limit Hold'em High Roller for One Drop event. The following year, he added another win to his record by taking first place in the WSOP No Limit Hold'em - High Roller event. Throughout his career, Niall Farrell has consistently demonstrated his skill and competitiveness in the world of poker.

Firaldo is university educated and has a degree in Law. He has finished in the money at poker tournaments in 19 different countries. He has lived in Scotland, Canada and briefly in America. His current goal in poker is to win the WSOP Main Event, then spend the entire following summer playing exclusively $250 daily deepstacks.

Firaldo is known for his unique style of play, having once spammed the "goodbye" emoji to an opponent whilst in an all in pot. He also owns a cult twitch stream which spawned over COVID lockdown. Firaldo is also a great karaoke singer, and has a passion for music and singing. He learned to play poker by watching late night poker on UK TV.

One of his most incredible accomplishments is he is one of only 9 triple crown winners in poker history, having won an EPT, WPT and WSOP event.

Firaldo is a GGPoker Team Pro.
