The Flying Dutchman, aka Marcel Luske, was named “Player of the Year” at the European Poker Awards in Helsinki, Finland last week.

This striking tournament identified “Rookie of the Year” – this title was grabbed by Finnish Jani Sointula who won in the Monte Carlo Millions.
Swede Martin De Knijff received the award for “Best Tournament Performance”, having won a $2.7m in the $25,000 Bellagio WPT event. Estonian Andres Burget won the “Casino Staff Person” award for his development of poker in the Baltic States.
