Vyacheslav Igin

Among the many successful poker players that have emerged from Russia in recent years is Vyacheslav Igin. He is best known for his achievements on the European circuit, with a plethora of cashes in EPT and WPT events. His first major title win came in the 2011 EPT €2,000 No Limit Hold’em Bounty event in San Remo for $74,451. He has made three other EPT final tables and scored fifteen cashes across events from this series.

His biggest win in monetary terms was in the 2012 EPT €5,000 No Limit Hold’em Six-Max Turbo event. Igin fished in third-place ahead of tournament aficionados Martin Jacobson and David Sands to scoop a six-figure prize of $100,065.

Vyacheslav has been less active in the live tournament scene in recent years and appears to have taken a break from poker.
