For a long time the largest poker winnings on the account of the Russian was 5 809 595$ received by Ivan Demidov for second place in WSOP ME 2008. In 2016, this record killed the Russian businessman Anatoly Gurtovoy, winning 5 983 597$ for second place in Big One For One Drop Extravaganza with a buy-in of 1 000 000€. But if we take into account the fact that gurtova only 5 times increased his buy-in, while the gain of Demidov was x580 of the cost of buy-in in in the tournament, I still prefer to remain in the opinion that the record Demidov is still relevant.
