Biography & Poker Background
Born in 1988 in the Soviet Union and raised in Canada, Dvoress discovered poker during the mid-2000s boom. He initially made his mark in the online world under the screen name “Oxota,” where he became feared for his relentless work ethic and analytical approach to the game. Over the last decade, he has evolved into a global traveler, frequently competing in major stops across Asia, Europe, and North America. In 2026, he remains a key figure in the high-stakes community, often recognized as one of the most respected “end bosses” in any tournament he enters.
Play Style & Strategy
Dvoress is celebrated for a play style that is “mathematically precise and emotionally unshakeable.” His strategy is built on a foundation of rigorous study and deep understanding of modern game theory (GTO). Unlike players who rely on live tells, Dvoress focuses on ranges, board textures, and optimal frequencies, making him incredibly difficult to exploit. His ability to maintain the same high level of play in $250,000 buy-ins as he does in smaller events is a testament to his discipline. In 2026, his game continues to adapt to the increasing aggression of the high-roller circuit, blending technical perfection with a quiet, patient aggression.
