Tournament Success
In 2025, Szczepanski won the Master of Disaster vol. III at Banco Casino Košice, a €40,000 guaranteed event with 383 entries. After a heads-up deal, he took home €7,027 plus a €175 ticket to the GPC 100,000 GTD tournament, along with the trophy. His victory included key hands where he showed aggression, such as snapping off a shove with AQo against J4o and later setting a trap with pocket threes that turned into a full house.

Playing Style
From his tournament footage, Szczepanski displays a balanced mix of aggression and patience. He is comfortable with three-betting preflop, continuation betting on favorable boards, and making big folds when necessary. His heads-up play against Julian Sloma in the Master of Disaster final featured both a successful bluff catch and a disciplined laydown, showcasing his adaptability under pressure.
Online Presence
