Poker Player Profiles

Kirill Gerasimov

Kirill is the young Russian player who impressed a lot of people when he made it to the final table on the World Poker Tour in the first episode at the Bellagio and finished second while winning $500,000. He went heads up at the end with Alan Goehring and got into trouble on a couple of hands and went all-in to save himself twice. Goehring recognized this and changed his style and beautifully trapped Kirill when he had pocket Queens and flopped a set and slowplayed it. With only 18 months of poker experience Kirill is a new comer to the game but has won several tournaments in Europe and won the Rookie of the Year in the 2002 European Awards. A former insurance agent, he learned to play heads up by reading fellow final table player Doyle Brunson’s book. He plays online at Paradise Poker. "The strongest part of my game is the ability to read people. When I play at Paradise this element is obviously less of a factor. I'm forced to work on other parts of my game. Paradise has helped me to develop what I believe to be a strong all-round game." ;Kirill learned how to play by reading Brunson's book and won the World heads up championship in Europe.

I'm sorry, but this guy sucks, I've played omaha vs him.. ( His game of choice) at pokerstars, he made the dumbest calls I've ever seen. And won only when getting lucky with 4out draws

Kiril / Kirril is a character, a Russian operative, in the Bourne Supremacy. Which stars Matt Damon. Has Matt Damon ever been seen in the same room at the same time as this guy?

hey dbmc7, watch the tape again, he lost on the last card. He was up until the last card drawn and would have won that event. Kirrils got game, "the young Ruskie" is top one.
