Biography & Poker Background

Belikov comes from Russia, where he developed his tournament foundation before traveling to compete extensively across major card rooms in Southeast and East Asia.

Belikov established a prominent presence on the regional circuit in late 2024, securing a 21st-place finish in the APT Manila Main Event for $10,295. He continued his momentum into early 2025 in the Philippines, taking 11th in the Manila Megastack 21 Main Event before achieving his career-best performance in February 2025, reaching the final table of the APT Manila Classic Main Event and finishing sixth for $33,395. After competing in Taiwan at APT Championship Taipei in late 2025, Belikov put together a remarkable series at APPT Manila in August 2026, recording four cashes including an eighth-place finish in the APPT Open for $9,350. Later that month, he added another major final table to his resume by taking eighth place in the GOP Manila Main Event for $12,405.

Play Style & Strategy

Belikov employs a disciplined, highly tactical No-Limit Hold’em tournament strategy. Demonstrating impressive consistency across multi-flight championship main events, freezeouts, and knockout formats, he relies on sound pre-flop range construction, active positional pressure, and strategic stack preservation through key tournament stages. His repeated deep runs in large-field main events across Manila and Taipei reflect strong fundamental decision-making and composure under high-stakes conditions.
