Leading Online Gaming Competitors from Kazakhstan in 2018
In the vibrant world of online poker, Kazakhstan has been making its mark, with several players rising through the ranks and claiming significant victories. However, a comprehensive search for the top 5 online poker players from Kazakhstan in 2018, along with their notable achievements, did not yield specific results.
Nevertheless, the search did uncover some intriguing findings. One such instance is the remarkable performance of "DAEMON_Tools", a Kazakh player who made it to the final table and finished second in the 888poker $110k Rakeless Sunday Mystery Bounty Main Event in 2025. This performance highlights the continued prominence of Kazakh players in online poker tournaments, albeit several years after 2018.
The Asian Poker Tour (APT) listings for 2018 did not mention any Kazakh players among the top performers or winners, suggesting that the focus of the tournaments may have been more on other regions.

Furthermore, 3DTemujiN made history by becoming the first Kazakh player to win a tournament in the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) series, taking the first place in an online tournament with 2,6K points.
Another standout player is DelfiNchik1, who resides in St. Petersburg but hails from Temirtau, Kazakhstan. DelfiNchik1 has amassed an impressive $1,174M in tournament winnings and took the second place in a major tournament in 2018, winning $5,4K on PokerStars' Sunday Bigger $7,50.
