Jacco van Hooren

Jacco van Hooren is a Dutch poker player who combines his career as a DevOps engineer with occasional live tournament participation. Based in Waalwijk, North Brabant, he has recorded modest but consistent results in Dutch poker series events.

Van Hooren has accumulated €29,902 in live tournament earnings according to available records. His most notable performance came in August 2018 at the WSOP International Circuit Holland Casino Rotterdam. He finished 4th place in the €1,650 Main Event, which drew 181 entries, earning €22,199. He was eliminated by Stephane Cordeille in a hand where his king-eight was outdrawn by Cordeille's pair of sevens.

Earlier results include:

• 2014 – 3rd place in the €700 Main Event of the Valkenburg Poker Series for €6,921
• 2016 – 23rd place in the €400 NLHE Bounty event of the Utrecht Poker Series for €782

During the 2018 WSOP Circuit Rotterdam Main Event, van Hooren doubled up Erik Tabak when his suited ace-king lost to Tabak's king-queen after a queen-high flop. Despite that setback, van Hooren remained among the chip leaders before ultimately finishing 4th.

Outside of poker, van Hooren works as a DevOps Engineer at NOBEARS, a company based in Waalwijk. His LinkedIn activity indicates he is family-oriented and shares scientific publications related to his wife's research on burn wounds and his daughter's PhD on gut barrier dysfunction in cancer cachexia.

From the limited information available, van Hooren appears to play a solid, aggressive game. In the WSOP Circuit event, he was noted as having one of the largest stacks at the table, suggesting an ability to build chips through calculated aggression. However, detailed analysis of his playing style is not possible from the existing data.
