Multiple World Series of Poker bracelet winner, Dominik Nitsche, has joined the 888Poker stable where he will act as an ambassador both live and online.

“He’s a great player…plays everything.”

I was in Vienna for the European Poker Tour (EPT). It was my first gig as a live reporter, and I only knew one player in the field. My mentor was leading me through the tables, pointing out players whilst I feverishly jotted their names on my note pad.

I had a system for recognizing players. I would pick out a distinguishable feature and write it next to their name. The ‘great player’ remark was made as we passed Dominik Nitsche. I jotted his name down and beside it wrote the words: ‘Skinny Little Kid From Germany.’
