Noah Boeken (born January 6 1981 in Amsterdam) is a Dutch professional poker and Magic: The Gathering player.

Magic

In the 1997 Pro Tour Chicago, Boeken finished in 15th place, and later 32nd at Pro Tour Mainz. He went on to win the 2000 European Championship and $11,500.

Boeken was also a playtester for the game.

Poker

Like fellow former Magic player David Williams, Boeken credits "The Flying Dutchman" Marcel Lüske as his mentor.

Boeken's first major finish in the money was at the 2003 Master Classics of Poker, where he finished 4th in the €200 no limit hold'em event. 8 months later he played in the $10,000 no limit hold'em championship of Festa al Lago II in Las Vegas, Nevada where he again finished in the money.

In October 2004, both Boeken and Luske made the final table of the European Poker Tour (EPT) event in London won by John Shipley. Boeken made a second EPT final table in January 2005 at the Scandinavian Open in Copenhagen where he defeated Ram "Crazy Horse" Vaswani in the final heads-up confrontation.

Boeken attended the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in 2005 and finished in the money twice, including at the final table of the $2,500 limit hold'em event.

As of 2006, Boeken's total live tournament winnings exceed $350,000.

Boeken plays online poker as Exclusive at PokerStars and Full Tilt, and as Who is Next at UltimateBet.
