POKER HALL OF FAME

⠀
Who Is Aliaksei Boika?
Aliaksei Boika is a Belarusian tournament poker player whose live results date back to 2010. His career developed through European events before expanding into the WSOP, EPT, online championship events and, more recently, the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series.
Boika's first major international breakthrough came during the middle of the 2010s. In August 2015, he finished fifth in the €10,300 High Roller at EPT Barcelona for €265,600. That result was followed by the defining victory of his early career a little more than a year later.
⠀
Boika Wins the 2016 EPT Malta Main Event
Boika won the €5,300 EPT Malta Main Event in October 2016, defeating a 468-entry field and earning €355,700. The tournament generated a €2,269,800 prize pool and established Boika as an EPT Main Event champion.
The Malta victory remains one of the central accomplishments on his résumé. Boika continued producing significant EPT results after the win, including a fourth-place finish in a €10,300 High Roller at EPT Prague later in 2016.
He returned to Malta nearly nine years later and made another deep run in the same Main Event. In October 2025, Boika finished fourth for €260,750, giving him two final-table appearances in an event he had previously won.
⠀
World Series of Poker Results
Boika has made repeated deep runs at the World Series of Poker without capturing a bracelet.
In 2018, he finished fourth in a $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo event for $142,458. He later reached the final stages of the 2021 WSOP Online $10,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship, finishing sixth.
Another close call came at the 2024 WSOP in Las Vegas, where Boika placed fifth in the $10,000 Super Turbo Bounty No-Limit Hold'em event for $142,892.
His strongest WSOP finish came in 2025. Boika advanced through the $25,000 Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship and reached the title match against Artur Martirosian. Boika finished runner-up for $300,000, while Martirosian claimed the bracelet.
Boika remained active at the WSOP in 2026. His results included a 170th-place finish in the $10,000 Main Event for $57,500 and 21st place in the $10,000 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em Championship for $41,750.
As of September 28, 2026, the WSOP lists Boika with zero bracelets and zero WSOP Circuit rings.
⠀
Boika Moves Into Triton Poker Super High Rollers
Triton Poker became an increasingly important part of Boika's tournament schedule during the middle of the 2020s.
His first seven-figure live tournament score came at Triton Poker Jeju in March 2025. Boika finished sixth in the $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em Main Event and collected $1,288,000.
The following year produced an even larger result. In March 2026, Boika reached heads-up play in a $60,000 plus $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em eight-handed event at Triton Jeju. He finished second to Daniel Rezaei for $1,313,000, which The Hendon Mob lists as the largest live cash of Boika's career as of September 28, 2026.
That runner-up finish demonstrated that Boika had become a regular contender in fields featuring many of the game's established high-stakes tournament professionals.
⠀
First Triton Poker Title
Boika broke through for his first Triton Poker trophy at the Triton Poker Super High Roller Series Jeju II in September 2026.
He topped 131 entries in the $25,000 plus $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em eight-handed Event #5 and earned $761,000. The victory gave Boika his first Triton title after several major final-table finishes on the tour.
The win was immediately followed by another substantial result. Three days later, Boika finished third in the $50,000 plus $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em eight-handed Event #8 for $697,000.
Those performances made September 2026 one of the strongest stretches of Boika's live tournament career and reinforced his position as an active competitor on the international super high roller circuit.

⠀
Career Earnings and Biggest Cash
The Hendon Mob lists Boika with $9,784,059 in live tournament earnings as of September 28, 2026. Tournament earnings databases change as new results are recorded, so that figure should be treated as a snapshot rather than a permanent career total.
His largest listed live cash is $1,313,000, earned for his runner-up finish in the $63,000 total buy-in Triton Poker Jeju eight-handed event in March 2026.
Several of Boika's largest paydays have come in South Korea at Triton events. Along with the $1.313 million runner-up result, he earned $1.288 million in Jeju in 2025, $761,000 for his first Triton title in September 2026 and $697,000 for third place three days later.
⠀
Playing Style and Tournament Focus
Boika's tournament record identifies him primarily as a No-Limit Hold'em tournament specialist rather than a player known for one particular mixed-game discipline.
His results span traditional multi-table Main Events, short-handed high rollers, heads-up competition and super high roller tournaments. Reaching the final of the WSOP Heads-Up Championship and repeatedly making deep runs in Triton fields also shows experience across formats that demand different strategic adjustments.
Rather than assigning Boika a subjective stylistic label, his tournament history provides the clearest description of his career: he has consistently competed across international No-Limit Hold'em events while increasingly taking on high-buy-in fields.
⠀
Why Aliaksei Boika Matters in Poker
Boika's significance comes from sustained results across several distinct eras and levels of tournament poker.
He first established himself on the European circuit, became an EPT Main Event champion in 2016 and continued producing major results years later. His career then expanded further into WSOP championship events and Triton's super high roller environment.
That longevity separates his career from one defined by a single breakthrough tournament. The 2025 and 2026 seasons in particular showed that Boika remained capable of reaching final tables against high-stakes international competition nearly a decade after winning EPT Malta.
⠀
Aliaksei Boika's Current Poker Status
Boika remained highly active on the international tournament circuit in 2026.
His year included a $1.313 million runner-up result at Triton Jeju in March, a fourth-place finish in the WSOP Europe GGMillion$ High Roller in April, multiple cashes during the summer WSOP in Las Vegas and a particularly strong September at Triton Jeju II.
The September series produced his first Triton title for $761,000 and a third-place finish for another $697,000 only three days later.
Those results place Boika firmly among the active high-stakes tournament professionals competing across major international series as of September 2026.
