Hitting the Jackpot: Adil, Daniyar, and Others Clean Up on PokerStars
It's time to hand out the congrats to our Kazakhstani poker pals who streaked into the big leagues on PokerStars! Here's a rundown of who made a mint and how they did it.
In the recent Sunday Warm-Up tournament, only one playerβour man Adil "a.adil87"βsurvived the battle and pocketed a cool $653.79 for finishing in 74th place.
The Sunday Million was a gold mine for four lucky Kazakhstaners. This bad boy attracted 5,730 entries and boasted a prize pool of $1,146,000, with the top prize of $177,630. With some luck, our boys finally managed to get a piece of the pie:
- "a.adil87" pulled off an impressive 119th place, earning a not-too-shabby $974.10.
- "tavshan" snagged $595.92 (218th place).
- "YNWA11108" grabbed $550.08 (261st place).
- And, believe it or not, "Kkazakh" rounded things out with a pretty penny of $332.34 (756th place).

Adil "aadil" - Flyin' High Again on Check-Raise Blog
Bye-bye, downswing! I took a bit of a hit, losing around 150 big blinds, but my faith is coming back
Daniyar "Blackout" - Chasing Victory in Blackout. On the Road to Achievements
Time for a spin! Tried my luck with a $2.5 spin-and-go for the first time today and cashed in with a $1 Million tournament ticket! Feels awesome
Didn't finish the event but overall, it was an excellent result, considering I got the ticket. Gives a significant boost to my bankroll. Started with a $100 spin and ran it up some. I had initially planned an ante-up, but it's not allowed, even though the field can be small, it's brutal. I barely squeezed past few regs. Gained a ton of experience and enjoyed the show. Caught a glimpse of Isildur, the poker legend, at the neighbors table.

While recent data doesn't pinpoint the exact performances of players like Adil and Daniyar in specific PokerStars tournaments like the Sunday Warm-Up, Sunday Million, and spin-and-go, it does show that Kazakhs are shining in major poker events.
Take, for example, Damir Zhugralin, who ranked impressively at the 2025 Merit Millions tournament with a chip count of 10,735,000 in a room full of high-stakes players[3].
Unfortunately, no records of Adil or Daniyar can be found in the recent official results from the 2025 PokerStars European Poker Tour (EPT) Monte-Carlo events or the Merit Millions tournament[1][2][3][4]. There's also little to no detailed coverage or statistics about performances in the PokerStars Sunday Warm-Up, Sunday Million, and spin-and-go tournaments specifically. More up-to-date tracking or updates may be necessary for these kinds of online tournaments from PokerStars or poker tracking databases.
