Poker Competition Results of Kazakh Players: November 7-20, 2016

In the bustling world of online poker, Kazakhstan's players have been making some moves. This past Sunday, the Sunday Million on PokerStars saw the lone Kazakh participant, "bazanchik", reaching the money, placing 378th and taking home a cool $626.37. With 5,285 players competing and a prize pool of $1,057,000 (first place - $150,357), pocketing a piece of such a massive pot is nothing short of impressive.

While "bazanchik" was just skimming the surface, other Kazakh players were gunning for the top in more affordable tournaments. "Alan.t81" battled his way to the final table of the action-packed Mini Sunday Supersonic 6-max turbo tournament. Despite leaving the table in 4th place, he snagged a memorable $3,000.

Then, there was "almazyan2030" who managed to snag a spot at the final table of the Bounty Builder tournament with a $44 buy-in and a $30,000 guarantee on Sunday. Our compatriot reached the heads-up stage and made a deal with his opponent, splitting the prize money almost equally. Our Kazakh hero walked away with over $2,600, including the valuable bounties.

Though the latest publicly available results don't provide a detailed breakdown of Kazakhstani players’ performances in specific PokerStars tournaments like the Sunday Million, Mini Sunday Supersonic, and Bounty Builder this year, it's important to note that Kazakhstani players have been making heads turn at major online poker events, including the 2025 Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP). In one of those Main Events, the player “ya_v_potoke” from Kazakhstan finished in fifth place, earning $128,407[1]. This demonstrates that Kazakhstani poker players are more than capable of competing at the highest levels on PokerStars.

However, specific results from the Sunday Million, Mini Sunday Supersonic, or Bounty Builder aren't prevalent in the latest available data[1][2]. Keep your eyes peeled for Kazakhstani players making a splash in these tournaments in the future!
