Career Earnings & Biggest Results

Miroslav Atanasov has more than $1.3 million in recorded live tournament earnings following his breakthrough results at Triton SHRS Jeju II S5.

The Hendon Mob currently lists Atanasov’s first result from the festival, a 12th-place finish in the $100,000 Triton Jeju II Main Event for $320,000.

The No-Limit Hold’em Main Event attracted 196 entries and generated a $19.6 million prize pool. Atanasov advanced to the final 12 during his Triton debut before being eliminated on the final day. The tournament was eventually won by Nick Schulman, with established high-stakes players including Isaac Haxton and Danny Tang also among the final 12.

Just one day later, Atanasov recorded an even bigger result in the $150,000 10th Anniversary Special at LES A Casino in Jeju.

The event attracted 67 entries and generated a $10.05 million prize pool, with only 11 players reaching the money. Its nine-player final table featured players with a combined 20 Triton titles, including Nick Petrangelo, Joao Simao, Adrian Mateos, Danny Tang and Daniel Dvoress.

Atanasov eventually finished fourth for $990,000, behind Petrangelo, Simao and Mateos. The result took his combined recorded live tournament earnings to $1.31 million and remains the largest cash of his career.

Biography & Poker Background

Atanasov represents Bulgaria. There is currently limited publicly documented information about his poker background before his appearance at Triton Jeju II.

His recorded live tournament history began with an immediate breakthrough at the Triton Poker Series in South Korea.

Atanasov first reached the final day of the $100,000 Main Event, where he returned among the final 12 players with 2,150,000 chips. His 12th-place finish earned him $320,000.

He then moved directly into the $150,000 10th Anniversary Special and reached another deep stage against one of the strongest final tables of the festival.

Atanasov eliminated Daniel Dvoress in ninth place and Danny Tang in seventh before reaching four-handed play alongside Nick Petrangelo, Joao Simao and Adrian Mateos.

He ultimately finished fourth for $990,000, completing his first recorded Triton festival with $1.31 million in combined prize money.

Play Style & Strategy

There is limited public interview or strategy material available from Atanasov, making it difficult to define his overall playing style from tournament results alone.

Coverage of the 10th Anniversary Special did provide several examples of his play at the final table.

Atanasov eliminated Dvoress after flopping three aces and improving to a full house against pocket queens.

He later played what was then the biggest pot of the final table against Tang. After Petrangelo opened, Tang three-bet with ace-king and Atanasov four-bet with pocket jacks. Tang moved all-in and Atanasov called, with the low board keeping his pair ahead and eliminating Tang in seventh place.

At four-handed play, Atanasov, Mateos and Simao each held 35 big blinds, while Petrangelo was close behind with 30. Atanasov’s stack later fell after losing pots to Simao and Petrangelo before he was eliminated in fourth for $990,000.
