Burt Boutin is a professional poker player from Henderson, Nevada who has won two World Series of Poker bracelets. He also finished in second place at the 2006 Mandalay Bay Poker Championship winning $604,765. Boutin is known for drinking "Red Bull" at the poker table and acting a little hyper between hands. During the final table of the 2007 WSOP $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha event, WSOP commentator Norman Chad referred to him as "Red Bull Burt".[1]

During the 2001 WSOP $2,000 Pot Limit Hold'em event, Boutin won his first bracelet after he had defeated Dave Ulliott heads-up. When he won his second bracelet in 2007 Ulliott was again at the final table, this time finishing third.
