Biography
Boika cut his teeth in the poker world in the online streets, and his first recorded live cash came 15 years ago in Malta. That was in a 110 Heads Up tournament, and Boika finished 2nd for 3,000. Fast forward two years, and his buy-ins increased in value. He played his first 10k buy-in in Cyprus 2023, and he finished 3rd for $43,200. On the live circuit, Boika’s first major score came in the €10,300 EPT Barcelona High Roller in 2015, where he finished 5th for €265,500. A year later, he won the EPT Malta Main Event for €355,700, which remains as one of Boika’s best scores to date. He then followed that up with a €218,944 score when he finished 4th in the €10,300 No Limit Hold’em 8-Max at EPT Prague the following December. Boika plays under his own name on GG, and “ale6ka” on PokerStars, where he is equally feared. Boika has scaled up the buy-ins throughout his career, and now he participates in everything from $1,000-$200,000 on the live circuit. Boika currently sits third on Belarus’ All Time Money List.
