Ranking Showcase of Poker Pros from Kazakhstan: Top 107 Showdown
Sunday Million with Slashed Buy-in, Bubble Chaos, and Denis "Lev.Ds" Close Call, Vasily "ZlatkoJohansson" Triumphs in Knockout Tourney
On December 10, PokerStars mixed things up with a reduced buy-in of $107.50 for the Sunday Million - half the usual amount. Almost doubling the guarantee with 18,957 entries, including re-entries, the tournament culminated in a $197,162 prize for the winner.
Indications pointed to a strong Kazakhstani showing, with 58 entries, eight of which cashed:
- "slava0077" - $557 (311th)
- "Evdokimka" - $389 (636th)
- "VitalyaproKZ" - $389 (761st)
- "LeoRai" - $325 (934th)

- "33_Vlad-Mir$" - $227 (2,132nd)
- "a.adil87" - $189 (2,763rd)
Comparatively, eight Kazakhstani players cashed in a similar tournament held in August, with the same number of entries.

Note: PokerStars has recently adjusted buy-ins for its PokerStars Open events at European Poker Tour (EPT) stops and Spin & Go and Spin & Go Max formats, but these changes do not directly impact the Sunday Million or players from Kazakhstan. No recent results spotlight Kazakhstani players in the reduced buy-in variation of the Sunday Million. Nevertheless, Denis "Lev.Ds" and Vasily "ZlatkoJohansson" have been active in online poker forums and tournaments. Every effort was made to provide you with the latest, most accurate information.
Turn around, as Denis "Lev.Ds" experienced a top-3 finish in a casino-and-gambling tournament, bagging victories for $11 in casino-games of poker. After practicing intensively, Vasily "ZlatkoJohansson" aims to sharpen his skills for his next high-stakes expedition in poker.
