Steven ‘Harrydebeng’ Weusten is één van de nieuwste leden van het snel groeiende Victory Poker Pro Team. De site die op 1 februari van start ging, strikte eerder al onder anderen Antonio Esfandiari, Anrew Robl en Paul Wasicka. Weusten speelt vooral cashgames.
In het paasweekend liet Victory Poker in een persbericht weten inmiddels twintig Victory Pro’s te hebben gestrikt. De Nederlander Weusten vertegenwoordigt het continent ‘Europe’ als een ‘Victory sponsored player’. Victory Poker presenteerde ook Jonathan Little als Team Pro. Little is bepaald geen kleintje in de pokerwereld. Hij won WPT’s en werd World Poker Tour Player of the Year. Hij verdiende al meer dan $4 miljoen in toernooipoker.
Inmiddels is Weusten veel op de nieuwe pokersite Victory Poker te vinden, blijkt uit zijn Twitterberichten: “Waiting to punish u all HU on Victory Poker!” en “playing 2/4 & 3/6 hunl on victory.”
Op de website van Victory wordt Weusten als volgt omschreven:
“Also known as Harr[De]Beng, this young Dutchman went pro in 2009 at the age of 22. Weusten decided to put his education on hold when he turned 18 after dabbling with online poker. He found himself enjoying the game more and more, which made the decision to play full-time an easy one.
In 2008 he traveled to Las Vegas to participate in the World Series of Poker, going deep and cashing in two events; the $1,500 no-limit hold’s Event #32 in which he placed 34th, and the $5,000 no-limit hold’s six-handed Event #46, where he placed 32nd. Later that year he traveled to Spain to participate in the European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona Open Main Event where he placed 18th. His young legacy began with three major cashes in one year. Weusten returned to his homeland to compete online, cementing his reputation as a fierce online competitor.
When asked what game is his best he answered, “I chose to join Team Victory because of my personal connection with the crew. I respect everyone involved and they are cool people with a great ‘state of mind’ who take this project very serious. I love being a part of that.”
We gaan Weusten in de gaten houden!
