Luc Salvas

Luc Salvas (born November 21, 1962 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian professional pool player. His quick-paced speed pool play earned him the nickname "Machine Gun". In 2006, he won the first International Speed Pool Challenge and the US$50,000 winner-take-all purse by defeating Great Britain's Dave Pearson. [cite web
