Meet: Pieter De Korver

Haven't heard of him? There's no reason why you should have if you live outside the Netherlands. It turns out that the reason he is now sponsored is that he won a TV show in Holland, some kind of Dutch poker championships. 100 tournaments were run in bars across the Netherlands, with 15,000 amateur players involved. The final five played it out on Dutch TV, and de Korver was the eventual winner. He is apparently also an amateur, and by all accounts not a particularly wealthy man, so this represents a really, really big deal for him. Looks like we'll be hearing a lot more from Mr de Korver in the future, though.
