Poker players are certainly one of the most demanding types of players
Javier Berasategui, Managing Director Fournier Playing Cards
As Javier Berasategui, Managing Director of Fournier Playing Cards, says: “Poker players are certainly one of the most demanding types of players. They fold the cards beyond imagination to sneak a peek, bringing a tremendous stress on cards. That is the reason we at Fournier craft 100% PVC Plastic playing cards that recover quickly their shape after hundreds of games. They are also more resistant to scratching than other PVC cards”
The highest levels of competition demand the highest quality cards
Russell Tamplin, Head of Poker, is satisfied with having Fournier back in the tables of the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour. “Our first partnership with Fournier for this event dates back to 2007. The highest levels of competition demand the highest quality cards. Not only players but also dealers and tremendously demanding with all the poker equipment used at the tournament so we know that with Fournier all the poker hands will be in the best possible hands”
