Yannick Gautschi

Yannick Gautschi is a Swiss national, currently pursuing a Master of Laws (MLaw) at the University of Zurich (2025–2026). He previously worked as a student trainee at several Swiss law firms, including Niederer Kraft Frey and Lenz & Staehelin, and served as a soldier in the Swiss Armed Forces. His academic background and legal internships highlight a parallel career in law alongside poker.

Gautschi's recorded tournament results come from the 2024 France Poker Series (FPS) and European Poker Tour (EPT) events. In February 2024, he finished 195th in the FPS Main Event (4,149 entrants), earning €3,770. In April 2024, he placed 187th in the FPS Cup #8 at EPT Monte Carlo (1,452 entrants), winning €840. These cashes demonstrate his ability to compete in large-field European tournaments.

• 14 Feb 2024: FPS Main Event – 195th place, 4,149 entrants, €3,770
• 26 Apr 2024: EPT Monte Carlo – FPS Cup #8 – 187th place, 1,452 entrants, €840

Based on his results, Gautschi appears to be a solid, consistent player capable of deep runs in major events. His cashes in both a Main Event and a side event suggest adaptability across different tournament structures. As a part-time player balancing legal studies, he likely employs a disciplined, risk-aware strategy.

While still early in his poker career, Gautschi represents a growing cohort of Swiss players making their mark on the European circuit. With his legal background, he may continue to play selectively while building a professional career in law. His results, though modest, indicate potential for future deep runs in high-profile tournaments.
