Rob Hollink has always been competitive. As a young man, he was an avid sportsman actively engaged in tennis, soccer, and basketball. Unfortunately, his professional career was cut short due to injury. Undaunted, he found a new competitive focus. With strong backgrounds in both mathematics and economics, it came as no surprise when Rob rapidly developed into a solid professional at the poker table.

After experiencing a great deal of success in the casinos in his native Netherlands, Rob turned his efforts to the tournament scene. He immediately established himself in 2001 by taking first place in the 10K Pot-Limit Omaha event at the Euro Finals of Poker in Paris. He immediately followed this up with final table and first place finishes before heading to Vegas for his first WSOP appearance. Going deep, Rob finished 18th in the $5K Omaha Hi-Lo Split 8 or Better event. Upon his return to Europe, he finished out the year with several more spectacular tournament finishes.

Since that time, Rob’s been a regular at final tables all over Europe and the US, taking first place in more than 10 events and cashing in 15 WSOP events. Rob closed out 2007 with yet another final table at the EPT Baden Poker Festival, where he finished fourth in the €2K No-Limit Hold ‘em event and took home over €38K.

Since the beginning of 2008, Rob has taken his game to the next level. Following a respectable EPT cash finish in San Remo, Italy, he headed back to the US for the WSOP. Rob went deep and cashed in the $1.5K Pot-Limit Omaha event, but that was only the beginning. Just days later, he took down the $10K World Championship Limit Hold ‘em event to claim $496K and his – as well as the Netherlands’ – first WSOP bracelet.

As a result of his continued tournament successes, he’s established himself as a true professional. If you want to see Rob in action, look for him playing online at Full Tilt Poker.
