Career Earnings & Biggest Results
According to The Hendon Mob, Lukas Zaskodny has total live earnings of over $3.5 million. He currently sits in the top ten on the Czech Republic All Time Money List.

Biography & Poker Background
Born in 1978, Lukas Zaskodny was a successful entrepreneur in Prague long before he became a poker star. He credits his background in business for helping him manage the risks and pressures of high stakes gambling. He started playing poker as a hobby but quickly became a regular at King’s Resort in Rozvadov, where he honed his skills against some of the best players in Europe. Even though he is a wealthy businessman, he treats poker with the discipline of a full time professional. He is known for being a very friendly and humble person who stays close to his roots in the Czech Republic, often playing in local series when he isn’t traveling to places like Barcelona or Las Vegas.
Play Style & Strategy
Zaskodny is famous for his versatile and fearless style of play. Unlike many specialists who only play one game, Lukas is just as comfortable in Pot Limit Omaha as he is in No Limit Hold’em. This makes him very hard to prepare for. He uses a patient but aggressive strategy, waiting for the right moments to put maximum pressure on his opponents. Because he has a business mind, he is very good at calculating his “return on investment” in every hand and rarely lets emotions cloud his judgment. Whether he is playing a small local tournament or a million dollar final table, he maintains a steady “poker face” and a calm focus that makes him one of the toughest players to read on the circuit.
