Gleb Ershov

Originally from Russia, Ershov has become a “nomad” of the poker world, frequently traveling between the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia to follow high-value series.

He is currently ranked within the top 300 on the Russian All Time Money List, a testament to his longevity and growth from a regional grinder to an international competitor.

Ershov is known for a highly aggressive and resilient play style, particularly in large-field bounty and deepstack formats. His ability to navigate massive fields, as seen in his multi-cash performance at WPT Cambodia 2026, demonstrates strong ICM awareness and an elite tactical understanding of late-stage tournament dynamics. He excels at leveraging his stack to pressure opponents and is regarded as a formidable regular who can fluidly adapt his strategy between patient accumulation and relentless aggression.
