Ognyan Dimov is a world-class professional poker player from Bulgaria who has become one of the most successful names in European poker history. Originally from Veliko Tarnovo, Dimov rose from a highly successful online background to become a major title winner on the live circuit. Known for his calm focus and consistency, he is one of the few players from his country to hold both a European Poker Tour title and a World Series of Poker bracelet, making him a true legend in the Bulgarian poker community.
Career Earnings & Biggest Results
With total live tournament earnings of over $7.3 million (according to The Hendon Mob), Dimov sits near the very top of Bulgaria’s all-time money list. His most significant live payday came in 2023 at the Triton Super High Roller Series Monte Carlo, where he won a $30,000 Seven-Handed event for a career-best $1,010,000.
Earlier in his career, Dimov shot to fame by winning the 2015 EPT Deauville Main Event in France, taking home €543,700 (~$616,376). He also proved his skills in the United States by winning a WSOP gold bracelet in 2018 in a $1,500 Six-Max No Limit Hold’em event for $378,743. His success has continued into the 2020s, including a massive $990,655 victory in a $25,000 High Roller at the 2023 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
Biography & Poker Background
Dimov’s poker journey began in the online world, where he became a feared “grinder” under the screen name “cocojamb0”. Long before he was winning millions in live high rollers, he achieved the prestigious Supernova Elite status on PokerStars, a rank reserved for the most dedicated and hardworking players in the game. This online foundation gave him the experience to compete with the world’s best when he transitioned to the live European Poker Tour.
He is often cited as a pioneer for Bulgarian poker, helping to inspire a new generation of players from his home country. Despite his massive success and frequent travel to high-stakes stops like Cyprus, Monte Carlo, and Las Vegas, Dimov remains deeply connected to the Bulgarian scene. He is known for being a very humble and professional player who treats the game with a serious, business-like attitude, rarely getting caught up in the drama or flashiness often seen at the tables.
Play Style & Strategy
Dimov is widely respected for his solid and technical approach to the game. Coming from a background of playing thousands of hands online, he has an incredible understanding of tournament math and “GTO” (Game Theory Optimal) strategies. He is especially dangerous in Short-Handed formats, where his aggressive but calculated style allows him to control the table and put maximum pressure on his opponents.
At the table, he is known for his unshakeable composure. Whether he is playing for a small prize or a million-dollar payday, his demeanor rarely changes. He is a master of “reading” his opponents’ tendencies and making disciplined folds when necessary. Dimov views poker as a game of constant learning and remains one of the hardest-working players on the circuit, often spending his time away from the table studying the latest strategies to stay ahead of the competition.
