The PartyPoker LIVE tour launched in 2017 and became an instant hit with live poker tournament players worldwide. From the budget €120 buy-in early Grand Prix event to the €5,300 MILLIONS Main Events, the PartyPoker LIVE had it all. There were even high rollers and super high rollers during the tour’s relevant infancy.

Canada’s Daniel Dvoress is the biggest winner of all time on the PartyPoker LIVE tour. Dvoress has banked an impressive $4,727,291 on the PartyPoker LIVE circuit, with the bulk of that princely sum stemming from his victory in the $250,000 Super High Roller event at the 2019 PartyPoker MILLIONS World Bahamas, which earned him $4,080,000.
Wai Leong Chan was the runner-up to Dvoress in that nosebleed-stakes event, and walked away with $2,667,500. That payout, combined with several other six-figure prizes, has helped Chan reel in $4,276,315 while playing PartyPoker LIVE events.
Four other players have earned more than $4 million from the tour. Timothy Adams ($4,251,944), Adrian Mateos ($4,080,067), Steve O’Dwyer ($4,077,626), and Germany’s Steffen Sontheimer ($4,046,128) being that quartet.
Four legitimate stars round out the top ten; each has between $3.1 and $3.6 million in PartyPoker LIVE cashes.
Sean Winter ($3,664,365) occupies seventh place, with Sam Greenwood ($3,558,913), Stephen Chidwick ($3,185,735), and former PartyPoker ambassador Mikita Badziakouski ($3,124,346) completing the top ten.
Denisov is the PartyPoker LIVE Serial Casher
The PartyPoker LIVE tour is more than big buy-in events because it spreads dozens of low-stakes events and tournaments with more affordable buy-ins. The broad range of levels attracts players from far and wide, with some players proving to be loyal to the tour.
Russia’s Aleksandr Denisov has racked up an impressive 45 PartyPoker LIVE cashes since its inception in 2017. Denisov is ranked joint-80th in the world for all-time in-the-money finishes with 272!
Georgia’s Zurab Ejibia is hot on Denisov’s heels with 44 cashes, with Garik Tamasyan (35), Evgeniy Nekrasov (31), and Nikolay Fal (28) making up the top five.
Former PartyPoker Pro, now with GGPoker, Anatoly Filatov has 26 PartyPoker LIVE cashes, while Giorgiy Skhulukhiya, a player with a superb record in North Cyprus, occupies joint-eighth with 23 results.
