A well-known streamer, experienced poker player, and big fan of MTTs and the Mystery Bounty format, Dmitry (SPR) Kukhtarev became part of the large PokerOK ambassador family in 2024.
Before discovering poker in 2017, Dmitry worked in television as a video editing director — which is where his strong video production skills originated. After deciding to develop in the poker industry, Dima left his main job and fully focused on playing and streaming.
Streaming activity quickly brought results:
- More than 34,000 subscribers on YouTube
- Around 25,000 on Twitch
- More than 7,000 on Discord
- An active Telegram channel with an audience of about 15,000 people.
Dima recalls with a smile how he once listed action on PokerOK for the first time and signed as “Mystery Ambassador” — in honor of his favorite tournaments, even though he had long been unlucky with prize chests.
Achievements:
- Victory in WSOP High Rollers: $1,500 Thursday Throwdown HR (Mystery) — $110,786 in winnings
- Professional in MTTs and Mystery Bounty tournaments
- Total tournament winnings — around $100,000
- Active participation in major online series.
Poker, streaming, creating previews and shorts, combined with popularizing online poker culture — this is a role in which Dima feels максимально organically.
Speaking about the ambassador’s mission, Dmitry emphasizes the importance of breaking myths and prejudices around the industry and seeks to show that online poker is not a scam, but a competitive environment for development, discipline, and growth.
