Artemiy Trofimov

Alexandr Trofimov first made headlines in 2011 when he won the SCOOP-32-M: $5,200 FL Hold'em [6-Max] for $85,100. That victory put him on the map as a force in online high-stakes tournaments.

In May 2017, Trofimov shipped the SCOOP-15-H: $25,000 NLHE [8-Max, High Roller], $2M Gtd for $702,659 after a heads-up deal with Belarus' Nikita Bodyakovskiy. He dominated the final table, eliminating every other player en route to the title. The tournament drew 93 entries (including re-entries), creating a $3,065,625 prize pool.

Trofimov has 19 WSOP cashes totaling $158,000 in earnings. His best result came in the 2020 WSOP Online Main Event, where he finished 4th for $55,880. He also placed 24th in the $400 DOUBLE STACK event in 2022 for $5,153 and 4th in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em in 2020 for $82,633. His WSOP career spans from 2005 to 2022, with cashes primarily in Hold'em and Omaha events.

In 2019, Trofimov led Day 1 of the Patrik Antonius Poker Challenge Main Event in Tallinn, bagging 220,700 chips. He also has deep runs in EPT, WSOPE, and other live tournaments, including a 3rd-place finish in a 2019 PCA side event.

Trofimov is known for his aggressive and action-oriented style, especially in Pot-Limit Omaha. His high-roller SCOOP win showcased his ability to apply constant pressure and make big bluffs. He is equally comfortable in Hold'em and Omaha, often mixing up his play to keep opponents off balance.

With over a million dollars in online tournament earnings and a reputation as one of Russia's top high-stakes players, Trofimov continues to be a threat in any event he enters. His ability to adapt and thrive in both online and live settings cements his place among the elite.
