Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Sport country Canada

Luc Salvas (born November 21, 1962) is a Canadian professional pool player. His quick-paced speed pool play has earned him the nickname "Machine Gun".

Born in Montreal, Quebec, 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.[1] He returned the next year to defend his title but was defeated in the semi-finals by Bobby McGrath of the United States, the eventual winner of the tournament.[2] In 2009, Salvas returned to play in the same tournament and won it for the second time, defeating Pearson again in the finals.[3] He successfully defended his title in 2010 by defeating McGrath.[4]

Despite his fast performance, he has yet to dominate any of the major nine-ball or eight-ball tournaments.[clarification needed]
