Wiktor Malinowski

Wiktor Malinowski was born on 2 August 1994 in Belarus, but holds Polish nationality and resides in Poland. Before poker, he was a professional handball player. He started playing poker seriously in 2014, beginning with freerolls and the lowest stakes online cash games (€0.01/€0.02). Within two years, he had built his bankroll and became a regular in mid-to-high stakes games under the screen name 'limitless'.

Malinowski's online career is marked by numerous high-stakes achievements. In 2018, he won a World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) event, the $25K High Roller Turbo, taking home $726,000. He is a three-time champion of the GGPoker Super MILLION$ (May 2021, June 2022, July 2022). In April 2021, he won a SCOOP title in SCOOP-13-H: $10,300 NLHE [8-Max] for $241,957.

Malinowski is particularly famous for participating in the largest online No-Limit Hold'em cash game pot in history at the time. In August 2020, on Natural8 (GGPoker network), he won a pot worth $842,438 against Michael Addamo. The record was broken days later, but Malinowski then won another pot of $500,146 holding 7♥2♥. On Joey Ingram's podcast, he famously offered a "heads-up challenge to anyone, playing while drunk," showcasing his confidence.

Malinowski made his first major live tournament appearances in 2019. He told PokerNews that the transition from online to live was "quite easy" and that "live poker is easier" in terms of competition level. His first major live victory came in August 2021 when he won the Super High Roller Bowl Europe Main Event ($250,000 buy-in) for $3,690,000, held in North Cyprus. This win propelled him to second on Poland's all-time live earnings list.

His biggest live cash to date came in May 2024, when he won the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Montenegro $200,000 No-Limit Hold'em Eight Max event, taking home $4,789,000. He also finished third in the Triton Cyprus $100,000 NLHE Main Event in September 2022 for $1,210,000. Other notable results include a sixth-place finish in the 2026 EPT Monte Carlo €100,000 High Roller for One Drop (€445,400) and seventh in the 2025 Triton Montenegro $150,000 NLHE Eight Max ($721,000).

As of 2025, his total live tournament earnings exceed $12 million with online earnings pushing his overall total past $15 million.

Malinowski is known for an aggressive, balanced style that exploits opponents' weaknesses. He excels in deep-stack scenarios and mixed games, though his primary focus is No-Limit Hold'em.

In 2026, he has already recorded cash in Triton Montenegro events and the EPT Monte Carlo High Roller for One Drop. His consistent performance continues to place him among the elite of European poker.

As of 2026, Malinowski's total combined live and online tournament earnings exceed $15.6 million across 57 confirmed cashes. He has recorded two World Series of Poker final tables and one European Poker Tour cash. His Global Poker Index (GPI) ranking is approximately 4,680, and he holds a Player of the Year ranking of 2,899 (with 2026 POY winnings of $521,118).

He currently ranks first on Poland's all-time money list, ahead of other notable Polish players. His nickname "limitless" embodies his aggressive, boundary-pushing style that has earned him respect in both online and live communities.
