Merit Poker is extremely proud to host two former November Niners during the Retro 3 - Merit Poker's Ambassador, the legendary Belgian Mr. Pierre Neuville, who has smashed the record of the oldest player to reach the "November 9" in the poker history, and famous French poker pro Antoine Saout, who in addition to his numerous victories around the world, has a 3rd, 5th and 25th place finish in the WSOP Main Event!
Apart from enjoying the new poker room with plenty of action at the tables, Retro 3 players and their friends can take advantage of the entertainment provided by Merit.
