One of the world's best strikers, Suarez has had an exceptional career so far, becoming 'Dutch Footballer of the Year' with Ajax Amsterdam, breaking the transfer record with his move to Premier League side Liverpool, and in 2013 leading the club's scoring as Player of the Season. However, it's been the 2013-2014 season that has proved his strongest. With 31 league goals, including one four-goal haul and two hat tricks, he won the Premier League's prestigious Golden Boot award. He also won the Football Writers' Association 'Footballer of the Year' and was named as part of the PFA Team of the Year. Additionally, he is Uruguay's all-time record goal-scorer and is thought to be a key element in their 2014 World Cup squad.

Itai Pazner , Senior Vice President of 888, stated: 'Luis Suarez is an incredible sporting talent: passionate, competitive, technically gifted and emotionally invested in the game. It's those qualities that make him an exciting player to watch, in poker as well as football. It's fantastic to have him on board.'

As part of the endorsement, Suarez will become an integral member of Team 888poker, regularly playing online on the site as well as participating in live events and money-can't-buy experiences.
