Poker career
He was introduced to poker while in the military by Kirill Gerasimov.[1] Upon his discharge, he tried to become professional. He travelled Europe for much of 2010.[1] He has four European Poker Tour main event in the money finishes.[2] He did not know about the tradition of the World Series of Poker bracelet when he competed in 2010, but when he learned about it he promised his wife he would bring her one.[1]
By mid-2011, following a handful of WSOP cashes, he was one of the top 20 ranked players in the world.[3] In September 2011 Mikhail Lakhitov signed a sponsorship agreement with the poker room GuruPlay Poker. [4]
