Poker career

Badziakouski began playing live tournaments in 2010, at the age of just 18.

Badziakouski plays online poker under the alias fish2013 on PokerStars and HelicopterBen82 on Full Tilt Poker.[1] He chose the number 2013 in his screen name because that was the year he would turn 21 and be able to play for a WSOP title in America. However, he is yet to win or cash in any WSOP event.[2]

In May 2018, Badziakouski won the Triton Super High Roller Series Montenegro festival held at the Maestral Resort & Casino, winning $2,499,090 in the process.[3] In August, he won the 2018 EPT Barcelona €100,000 Super High Roller, his fourth title of the year, winning him $1,930,851.[4][5]

After winning the short deck hold 'em event held at King's Casino Rozvadov in October 2018, Badziakouski was dubbed the "Short Deck Poker king".[6]

In September 2019, Mikita Badziakouski won £50,000 NLHE at the British Poker Open 2019. Mikita defeated Cristoph Vogelsand Heads-Up To Earn £486,000.[7]

As of February 2020, Badziakouski has earned over $220,000 playing high stakes online cash games on PokerStars[8] and has won over $26,000,000 from live poker tournaments. He is the all-time money leader in Belarus.
