Alexander “AA gudila KK”<\/strong> is the latest in what seems a never-ending line of Russian grinders who have won a Legend of the Week<\/strong><\/a> leaderboard. Alexander triumphed in Leaderboard 3 after hearing about the promotion from top poker streamer Andrey “Babyshark” Kozlenko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alexander’s reward for winning Leaderboard 3 was a $215 Warrior<\/strong> ticket, three $150 Daily Legends<\/strong> tokens, and a $320 The 300<\/strong> entry. You have to admit that is a pretty cool prize just for playing, and excelling, in his favourite partypoker tournaments.<\/p>\n

Who is our latest Legend of the Week?<\/p>\n

“I live in a small town called Bezhetsk, in the Tver region. For 17.5 years, I worked at the Automotive Special Equipment Plan – ASO but I quit my job literally four months ago. I joined the ITC Foundation to study and develop my poker skills. I’ve been playing since 2012, more or less always at the micro-stakes.”<\/p>\n

Alexander was so focussed on playing his best poker that he forgot all about the Legend of the Week promotion despite getting the week off to a superb start. He finished 10th in the $11 Terminator<\/strong><\/a> before winning it the next day. Those results helped push Alexander to the top of Leaderboard 3.<\/p>\n

“The week was just like any other until I won the $11 Terminator. If I am not mistaken, I took 10th place in it the day before. As usually happens in my case, I forgot about the leaderboards and did not expect any tickets. The following week, I went into the tickets tab of my account and my jaw dropped!”<\/p>\n

Firing Into The Juggernaut<\/h2>\n

Our winner did not waste any time in trying to put his tickets to good use, immediately registering for the $150 Juggernaut Daily Legends tournament. His first bullet did not go to plan and neither did his re-entry, resulting in Alexander rethinking his strategy.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to sell some of my action in the remaining three tickets, and reduce the number of tournaments I play to a minimum so I can focus on the big buy-ins. Of course, you need to have a good rest, eat delicious food, and go into these tournaments in a good mood.”<\/p>\n

Once Alexander has played these big buy-in Daily Legends events, you’ll find him back grinding his favourite two tournaments on the schedule, the $5.50 Headhunter<\/strong><\/a> and the $11 Terminator, trying to become a Legend of the Week for a second time.<\/p>\n
