As of 2025, he sits 944th on the all-time money list and holds the 7th position among Belarusian players on the Hendon Mob leaderboard. He began his career playing online before transitioning successfully to live tournaments, where he has consistently reached final tables and deep runs across multiple major series.

Vaskresenski’s largest cash to date is $1,250,000, achieved in an unspecified event. He has recorded numerous cashes at the World Series of Poker and European Poker Tour, frequently reaching money positions in medium-to-high buy-in events. Notably, he cashed in the 2024 Super High Roller Bowl Series in Cyprus, a prestigious stop on the PokerGO Tour.

In August 2024, Vaskresenski finished 6th in Event #1 of the PGT Super High Roller Series in Northern Cyprus, a $25,750 No-Limit Hold’em 8-Max tournament. He earned $62,000 after shoving with ace-king and losing to Sam Greenwood’s straight. The event also featured top players such as Roman Hrabec (winner) and Santosh Suvarna (runner-up). This result added to his growing record of deep runs in high-stakes tournaments.

Vaskresenski is recognized for a tight-aggressive style, emphasizing hand reading and deep-stack play. He approaches cash games and tournaments with a focus on steady, long-term profitability rather than flashy bluffs. Observers note his calm demeanor under pressure and strong understanding of range analysis and pot odds, which allow him to exploit opponents’ mistakes in later stages of tournaments.

Before his live success, Vaskresenski built a foundation in online poker, grinding multi-table tournaments to develop his skills. While his online accomplishments are less documented, his live record demonstrates a disciplined bankroll management and a knack for turning modest buy-ins into significant paydays. He maintains a relatively low public profile, focusing on results rather than media attention.
