This Dutchman was planning a trip to the Philippines before he won a satellite seat to the APPT Manila event on PokerStars. Suddenly, the 30-year-old from The Hague had his trip paid for and, after making the final table, will have plenty of pocket money to spend on his travels throughout Southeast Asia. After studying systems engineering and working in the IT industry, van Liere started his own online business, which sells designer furniture. Like other final table participants, he’s a relative newcomer to poker, having taken up the game less than a year ago.
