Everest Player Profile: Markus Van der Voor

A lovable but annoying cat is no match for Everest Netherlands Qualifier Markus Van der Voor. Markus ,28, has a cat, Tommie, that loves to put Markus on tilt whenever he is playing, by jumping on his new touch screen computer. Doing this shuts the screen off causing him the loss of his hand. Tommie is no match for Markus, he picks up right where he left off and continues to pounce on the online field while honing his poker skill on the Everest Poker client.

The Everest community is what keeps Van de Voor coming back to the site every day. He knows many of the players he is up against when playing live tournaments, which he believes, gives him the edge.

He gives a great deal of credit to U_R_myGimp and Tobestar, because they have worked their way up from the lower stakes to the higher stakes. They have worked very hard and have become very notable players as he too, feels he has become.
