Filed Under Pocker
Marcel Luske was born on the 30th Novemeber 1952 in Amsterdam and didn’t always harbour only ambitions of being a poker player, he spent much of his life wishing to be a singer, and has a talent for martial arts too having earned his black belt in karate. He is married with 2 children and still lives in Holland although he travels all over the world for major poker tournaments. He is a very recognizable figure at the tables, as he often wears his sunglasses upside down and has a habit of bursting into song whilst playing poker. He was ranked as the best European player in 2001 and 2003 and has had many finishes in the money in large tournaments over the years, remaining a familiar face at the WSOP each year.
Marcel Luske has never won a World Series bracelet but he has come close several times, even in 2007 too, he came 4th in an Omaha hi/lo event and his career thus far seems to deserve at least one major title, regardless of this he is an extremely well known and prominent player at the world series and elsewhere, and has tournament earnings of over $1,000,000. Not bad for a guy who spent his life wanting to be a singer rather than a poker player, im sure you’ll agree.
