Aliaksei Chernak has once again triumphed at King’s Resort, capturing the €400 Deepstack title at the 2026 King’s Million European Poker Championship. The Belarusian high roller specialist earned €54,800 after a grueling final day that stretched nearly 16 hours.
This marks Chernak’s second major victory at the Rozvadov venue, having previously won the 2023 Euro Poker Million. Despite turning professional only six years ago, he has built a strong connection with the property, describing it as feeling like home.
The event drew 1,054 entries across seven starting flights, creating a prize pool of €358,360. A total of 106 players made the money, with Chernak entering the final day positioned in the middle of the pack.
Chernak credited a relaxed, present-focused mindset for his deep run, telling PokerNews through a translator that he focused on enjoying the atmosphere rather than fixating on winning outright.
The final table saw player boundless build an early commanding chip lead, putting Chernak at risk multiple times, including two crucial all-in confrontations with four players remaining. Chernak survived both, doubling up once through a dominated kicker before another comeback minutes later.
After eliminating Karol Radomski in third place, Chernak took control heads-up against boundless, ultimately sealing the win with a pair of tens to claim the King’s Million Royal Scepter.
