Besides being the proud owner of the Clinique des Champs-Elysées, the leading private centre for aesthetic surgery in Paris, Jean-Michel Cohen is also a well-known face in the French live poker scene.

A regular at the Aviation Club de France (ACF) before the iconic poker room was shut down by France's Judicial Police, Cohen is a true veteran of the game. With his first recorded live tournament cash dating back to December 1996 (source: HendonMob), over the years the the 63-year-old doctor from Paris managed to put together some remarkable results, including one that saw him end the 2015 European Poker Tour Deauville Main Event in seventh place for a €85,530.
