INTERNEWSTIMES.COM – Niall Farrell, a 36-year-old poker pro from Dumfries, Scotland, has found success navigating the high-stakes world of professional poker, balancing his quiet life in his hometown with the bright lights of Las Vegas and international tournaments.
Farrell’s journey began with a late-night fascination with Channel 4’s “Late Night Poker,” which introduced him to the game.

Now, Farrell travels the world, competing in prestigious tournaments in Monte Carlo, Prague, and the United States.
Despite his international success, Farrell chooses to maintain his base in Dumfries, finding comfort in the familiarity of his hometown. “I think it’s nice to know everything about the town that you’re in – its good points and its bad points,” he explained. “It’s my town, you know?” His story was recently featured in the documentary “The Four Rules of the Poker Kings,” showcasing his journey from a small Scottish town to the top of the poker world.
