Top tournament earner is a German player, while a runner-up is from the Czech Republic, in fitting with the ‘border town’ geographical location of the poker paradise. A total of 272 players having cashed for at least six-figures and 15 players have racked up at least a million dollars worth of results.
Dominik Nitsche has earned over $5.6 million in Rozvadov, marginally more than famous poker motormouth Martin Kabrhel. The American player David Peters has won almost $2 million of his huge tournament earnings in the venue, while Nikita Bodyakovskiy is another of the biggest winners. Here are the top ten most successful tournament winners at King’s Casino.

While thousands of players have enjoyed some of their best memories in live poker underneath the gilded ceilings of the stunning King’s Casino cardroom, one man has enjoyed a stunning number of results.
With a massive 141 cashes at King’s Casino, Georgian poker player Zurab Ejibia must almost feel like the beating heart of Rozvadov is his second home. While Rozvadov is a place that most poker players travel in and out of a few times every year, Ejibia, who is a successful low-stakes player at the venue, has cashed 20 times since the World Series of Poker began, and all of them in King’s Casino.
All in all, over 22,000 players have cashed in tournaments at King’s Casino, with many more winning their biggest pot in cash games at the Rozvadov tables.
