The modern poker world is a landscape full of relative unknowns. The lack of immediate endorsement opportunities and incentive to remain anonymous leads some of the most talented players in the world to fly under the radar. To try and shed some light on those players, below is a look at five of the most successful online poker players you’ve probably never heard of. All tournament earnings are from PocketFives.com and cash game winnings are courtesy of HighStakesDB.com.
5. ‘BLaaZeKuSH’
This Canadian player dominated the micro-stakes circuit in 2017. ‘BLaaZeKuSH’ won the leaderboard for most money earned playing MTTs on 888poker with a $22 buy-in or below. With $98,724 in cashes, 88 wins, and 1,296 cashes ‘BLaaZeKuSH’ proved there is a living to be made beating the smallest of margins.
Those rankings are good for first, first, and second in the respective categories for 2017. Entering 2018, ‘BLaaZeKush’ is only a few thousand away from hitting $1 million in online MTT earnings.
Already in 2018, ‘BLaaZeKuSH’ has eight wins on the micro grind and we’ll see if they decide to move up in stakes before long.

The #1 ranked player in the poker hotbed of Argentina is also ranked in the top 50 worldwide, according to PocketFives. ‘kofi89’ won Tournament Number One Billion on PokerStars in November 2014 for $329,587 and followed that up with a Sunday Million victory in March of last year.
