The Five Biggest Poker Scores of King's Resort Owner Leon Tsoukernik
Leon Tsoukernik is a man of many talents. To some, he is an astute businessman who built Europe's largest cardroom at King's Resort, Rozvadov. To others, Tsoukernik is an art dealer with an unrivaled eye for detail. But under his many layers, Tsoukernik is a poker player with a penchant for high-stakes cash games and tournaments.
The fact Tsoukernik has more than $5.3 million in recorded live cashes, placing him third in the Czech Republic's all-time money list (according to The Hendon Mob) is a testament to his ability at the poker table. The King's Resort supremo trails only Martin Staszko, who banked more than $5.4 million for his runner-up finish in the 2011 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event, and the polarizing Martin Kabrhel, who has almost seven-times as many in the money finishes as Tsoukernik. Not bad for a poker-playing businessman.
