We love a satellite success story here at partypoker, which is why we were delighted to learn about Alexander Galchenkov<\/strong>‘s impressive tale. Galchenkov, who hails from Belarus, won the Legend of the Week<\/strong><\/a> Leaderboard 1 after starting off with a $0.22 buy-in satellite victory!<\/p>\n

Thirty-year-old Galchenkov works hard at his job during the day, and equally as hard at the partypoker tables by night.<\/p>\n

“I live in the city of Gomel in the Republic of Belarus. I am work in metalworking, such as supply, repair, and modernisation, and have been playing poker<\/a> for around ten years,” Galchenkov told the partypoker blog.<\/p>\n

Leaderboard 1 of the Legend of the Week revolves around the $2.20 buy-in Daily Legends<\/strong><\/a> tournaments, The Double Jab<\/strong><\/a> and The Deuce<\/strong><\/a> to be exact. playing in these events from Monday through Saturday earns you leaderboard points. Galchenkov got his grind on in these events and played most of them over the course of a week.<\/p>\n
