Prior to making the WSOP Main Event final table, his only cash under the WSOP umbrella came back in 2011, where he finished in 79th place for $6,207 in Event #26: $2,500 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed.
All but four of his 22 tournament cashes have taken place in Europe, where he has made the money in countries such as France, Poland, and Germany, as well as his native country.
He has four tournament wins under his belt, with two victories in the Russian Poker Tour, one at the France Poker Series, and his last triumph was at the European Poker Tour, where he won a €1,100 NLH Turbo event at EPT Deauville for $ 21,863.
The biggest payout of his career also came on the EPT, where he finished in fifth place at EPT Warsaw for his only six-figure score. That was in October 2009, and he was awarded $104,637 for his efforts.
At the 2023 World Series of Poker, he made the final table of the Main Event. The $2,400,000 payout for his fifth-place finish is now his largest cash by a wide margin.
