Partypoker continues to have faith in experience after signing the Netherlands All-Time Live Tournament Money earner, Marcel Luske, as their new brand ambassador.

When I first saw Marcel Luske sitting at the poker table, he struck me at someone who signs autographs with a fountain pen dipped in the blood of a thousand virgins.

A creme coloured suit covered a pristinely ironed white shirt with the ‘cool’ button open. His fingers were ringless. A watch hung off his left wrist, and an upside down pair of sunglasses sat proudly above a pair of eyes that looked like they had seen more stories than the Mini Bar in the Presidential Suite in Trump Plaza.

I remember looking at him thinking, “That’s what a professional poker player should look like.”
