Biographies of our two sponsored players

Natan Chauskin

Natan Chauskin is one of the rising stars of the Belarussian poker scene. After crushing online tournaments for quite a while, Natan decided to take a shot at local live tournaments. It should soon pay off as he won his second big live tournament, a $ 360 No-Limit Hold’em at the 2015 Belarus Poker Tour in Minsk for $8,140.

Within two years Natan won $245,701 in live tournaments alone, which earns him a spot in the Top 20 of the Belarussian All Time Money List.

Mikalai Vaskaboinikau

Is good friends with Natan and also one of the best tournament players in Belarus. Mikalai has much more experience and is something like a mentor for Natan. The two are travelling together to big live tournaments in Russia and Europe.

Mikalai VaskaboinikauMikalai Vaskaboinikau took third in the €10,000 High Roller at the EPT Malta 2015.

It so happened, that he also made the biggest cash of his career at the EPT Malta 2015. In a star-studded field of the €10,000 High Roller, Vaskaboinikau not only made the final table, but also the Top 3 before he busted to the later winner Byron Kaverman. Mikali has already amassed $323,581 in live winnings.

After the tournament Natan and Mikalai summed up their experience:

“We, Natan Chauskin and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau got sponsored by VIP-Grinders for the Russian Poker Tour Minsk (June 14th – 23rd 2016) and have been playing all main events. I (Mikalai) was running really hot in the PLO event and was a big chipleader at the final table, but finished “only” 4th, after getting unlucky. Next big tournament for us will be the EPT Barcelona! We really apprecciate the live sponsorship deal we made with VIP-Grinders and can recommend the offer to other pros looking for live sponsorships.”
