From Player to Entrepreneur – The Story Behind pokertafelshop.nl (source: Pokercity)

Every poker player knows: a good table makes or breaks the night. But what if you can't find that one perfect table anywhere? What started as a search for an affordable, luxury poker table grew into Pokertafelshop.nl – the place for enthusiasts who want to give their poker night that little bit extra.

A poker player with a passion for the game

Sjors Harmens | Pokertafelshop.nl

Sjors Harmens isn't an entrepreneur behind a big corporation. He's a real poker player, just like you. He's played poker fanatically for over fifteen years. He played his first live tournament in 2010 during the Dutch Open at Holland Casino. Not long after, he had a standout week during the MCOP in Amsterdam and first really got on PokerCity's radar. In the years that followed he played many live tournaments at Holland Casino, but in recent years he's taken it a bit easier – though he still regularly sits down for a tournament.

That love for the game shows in everything Sjors does. Including his webshop. Pokertafelshop.nl isn't just a place to buy tables – it's a place born out of the needs of a player who knows what matters. Every table is carefully selected and tested. That way he's certain the quality is right – and that every table lives up exactly to what he, as a poker player, considers important.

For that reason, he's selected poker tables that exude luxury and offer comfort and quality. All tables are equipped with a high-quality faux leather rail, LED lighting in various colours, stainless steel cup holders, phone chargers (USB & USB-C), chip tray and rake box. No detail is overlooked. On top of that, the poker tables are sturdy, durable and built for the long term.

The origin of Pokertafelshop.nl

The idea for Pokertafelshop.nl came about when Marijn van Leeuwen, a good friend of Sjors from his high school days, came by to take photos of Sjors' poker tables. Marijn, himself a creative entrepreneur, immediately saw the potential. "This is such a great product, why don't we turn this into a real webshop?" And so it happened. Together they decided to set up Pokertafelshop.nl as a place made by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts.
