Jeroen Van Belzen

Jeroen van Belzen is a professional poker player from the Netherlands who has built a steady record in European live tournaments since 2016. His results primarily come from mid-stakes events in the Netherlands and Belgium, including the Utrecht Poker Series, Rotterdam Poker Series, and the Unibet Open. According to available data, his total tracked winnings amount to €26,346.

Van Belzen’s largest recorded cash came in 2024 at the Utrecht Poker Series Main Event (€785 buy-in), where he finished 12th out of 753 entries, earning €6,073. Earlier, he placed 14th in the 2026 Dutch Open Cup (€250 buy-in) for €2,518. In 2019, he finished 22nd in the Utrecht Poker Series €780 Main Event for €2,524, and 11th in a €550 Deepstack Freeze Out in Rotterdam for €1,107.

On the international stage, van Belzen cashed in two Unibet Open events. In 2018, he finished 20th for €2,130 in an unnamed Unibet Open main event. In 2016, he also cashed in the Unibet Open Bucharest main event, though the exact prize is not reported.

Van Belzen plays an aggressive, short-stack shoving style, particularly when deep in tournaments. In the 2024 Utrecht Poker Series Main Event, he was eliminated after shoving from the cutoff with A♠Q♠ for 550,000 chips, losing to Nick Emo’s J♣J♥ on a board of 8♦A♦J♠9♠2♠. Earlier in the same event, he doubled up when his K♣K♦ held against Kevin Van Froyenhoven’s J♣J♥ on a board of 5♣5♦3♣2♠7♠.

In the 2018 Unibet Open, he was eliminated in 20th place after shoving from the small blind with A♠T♥ and losing to Christophe De Meulder’s A♥K♦. At the 2016 Unibet Open Bucharest, he eliminated Tomas Lindberg when his A♣Q♠ held against Lindberg’s K♦Q♦ on a board of 9♠4♣2♠3♣8♣.

These hands illustrate a willingness to shove with marginal holdings and a reliance on coin flips to survive, a trait common among aggressive tournament players.
