Joost Putters

Joost Putters is a poker player from the Netherlands who achieved a notable live poker victory at Holland Casino Breda. His most prominent recorded success came during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the 2019-2020 Poker Ranking season was interrupted after only 19 of 50 scheduled tournaments.

On 25 April 2021, Joost Putters was declared the winner of the Poker Ranking Holland Casino Breda for the season that normally runs from November to October. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the season was halted prematurely after 19 events, with a significant prize pool of approximately €5,000 accumulated from the 5% rake reserved for the season-ending Sit & Go. Instead of a final tournament, the tournament management decided to distribute the prize among the top ten players based on the current ranking. Putters, who had three wins and a commanding lead at the time of the shutdown, was awarded the top prize. He collected his winnings, a bouquet of flowers, and the trophy during the casino's one-day reopening ceremony in Breda.

Putters' victory in the Poker Ranking demonstrates his consistent performance in live tournament series, particularly at Holland Casino Breda. While limited public information exists about his broader poker career, this achievement highlights his skill and competitiveness in the Dutch live poker scene.
