Noah Boeken at the EPT Dublin

There is something to be said for home field advantage. Just ask Team PokerStars' pro Noah Boeken.

The Masters Classics of Poker has long been the biggest poker tournament in all of the Netherlands. Held at the Holland Casino in Amsterdam, the tournament hosts some of the best poker players from all over Europe.

This week, Boeken once again showed his live poker prowess.

Up against more than 400 tough poker pros, Boeken went on the attack in his home city. Competing for a prize pool of more than €2 million, Boeken battled all the way to the final table. His fourth place finish earned him nearly €140,000.

It was not the first win he had that week.

"Straight back from my 14th place finish in the EPT Dublin, I arrived at the Amsterdam airport two hours prior to the start of the second tournament of the week," Boeken said.

That event was a €200 rebuy no-limit hold'em tourney. He sat down just in time for the first hand. His momentum from Dublin carried him forward. He finished second out of 298 players and picked up what he called "a small €30,000 payday."

After that, he went to work on the big event. Once he reached the final table, he was seventh place in chips. He said he couldn't get anything going ultimately busted in fourth place.

"Looking back at the final, I should be happy with my result," he said. "I didn't start with many chips and in the seven hours I was on this table, I had no other choice than to survive with the cards that where dealt to me. All in all, it's been a great two weeks for me and I hope I can continue my good run in the upcoming tournaments."

Congratulations, Noah, on a great finish.
