To poker fans, however, Holland or the Netherlands have always been about legends who have changed the face of the game. Don’t believe us? You will after you find out who are the top 10 most successful live poker players in Dutch history. Be warned, however; if you read it twice, it may end up sounding like double Dutch.

10. Tobias Peters ($2,205,757)

Peters sneaks onto our top 10 courtesy of some high-profile victories on the tournament circuit, including a WSOP Circuit victory in Rotterdam in 2018, winning him $78,467 and the WSOP Circuit Championship Ring. Peters’ biggest cash is actually a runner-up finish, in the 2015 Masters Classics of Poker $1,500-entry event in Amsterdam, losing out to fellow Dutch player Dominic van Embden. Another highlight of Peters’ poker career was his 4th-place finish in the $1,500 NLHE Bounty event in Las Vegas in 2017, where he shared the final table with another countryman – Govert Metaal.
