Once he had learned about his win at the Marbella National Series of the World Poker Tour, Patrick de Koster was ecstatic and thrilled. “This is remarkable. I’ve been thinking for some time that I have desired to purchase a small studio and now I am capable to do this. Even if I hadn’t accomplished I cannot say enough how much I enjoyed this occasion – it was so welcoming and well organized.
The only remorse is I didn’t get to really experience Marbella as I have continuously been in the casino. I cannot really grumble though!” he said.
